If you think a folk festival is just for tree huggers, you’re in for a shock. The Lowell Folk Festival, now in its 25 year, is an explosion of music and dance, from the 6 sound stages, to the sidewalks, in a celebration of cultures coming together. Featured is the Hector del Curtos Tango Quartet [...]
The refurbished 1923 trolley is available on the half hour for weekend stops and the jovial National Park Service conductors are happy to give its history and show off the huge trolley key that starts it up. I rode past the canals and Boot Mill on my first delightful ride of the season.
Maudsley State Park in Newburyport is heaven on earth.. and especially so in June when the rhododendrens and azeleas put on quite a show, forming walls of audacious blooms. It’s a treat I try to enjoy every year but you have to time it just right. The time is NOW.
If mideast politics had anything to do with food, the conflict would end as soon as all hostile parties tasted the amazing food at Babylon Restaurant. On this opening day guests were served literally the best humus I’ve ever tasted with pita bread and a salad, similar to an Israeli salad, only with lettuce included [...]
These photos are taken as a celebration of the coming of spring, with water rushing from the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont into the streams, the new red winged blackbird hanging out on a newly budding tree in Vermont, some horses pulling a plow at Billings Farm where the cows anxiously waited to be [...]

Lowell, MA, my new home, is a fascinating city so you’re gonna be seeing a lot of it. I’m loving the old buildings, canals, gas lamps, and ethnic diversity city and all that brings. There’s a huge art scene with the Western Ave. Studios teeming with creative souls, and just outside is an abandoned train [...]
If like seeing rows of fishing boats lined up at the docks, their masts silhouettes against the sky, then you’ll have to go New Bedford on Christmas, probably the only day when they’re all at rest. If you go, pack a lunch since of course, nothing is open but the gas stations, or of course, [...]
Another walk at Bradley Palmer revealed some very weird hairy vines, snaking up the trees (does anyone know what these are?) Then, there were some interesting minimalist sculptures, carved by beavers, and some white patterns etched into the pond ice by skaters. Happy solstice, everyone.
Here’s some shots from my iphone that I took while walking in Bradley Palmer State Park today and stopped at a local organic farm for soup and crusty bread with my guy. I only wish I could have got some shots of the mini-horses pulling carriages. The horses arrived at the park in what else? [...]
