The Grocery Store
This is the picture looking out of my bedroom window before the snowstorm. The tree is a crab apple tree. In the spring when the flowers on the tree are blossoming it is just magnificent. Now we only have shriveled-up crab apples. However, there is a squirrel and a robin eating the apples. One day…
Birds
The other day I went to the Bronx Zoo with my grandson. We went to the World of Birds exhibit and saw the bird of paradise. Not only did we see the bird, but it also sang to us. It was just beautiful. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the black…
Summertime and the Living is Easy
These turtles certainly seem to be enjoying summer. This picture is the causeway at the North Stamford Reservoir on Interlaken Road. I like passing this spot often. As you can see there is a nice water cascade. I can usually start hearing the water when I am 200 feet from the stream. One of…
Just an Usual Walk
Today’s morning walk did have a mission, to buy my monthly bus pass at the train station. I usually walk down Summer Street to its end. Today I changed the route and crossed over to Franklin Street. At the end of Franklin is UCONN On the right and a little park on the left. They…
The Stamford Canopy
The Stamford Canopy One thing Stamford has is an abundance of trees. They are everywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if we have over 100million trees in Stamford.

Long Island Sound and numerous rivers, streams and ponds. I am writing this because I was at a meeting recently where…
The Journey can be part of the enjoyment
Recently my wife and I went to Wave Hill Gardens in New York City. It is a lovely garden located in the Bronx with great views of the Hudson River. Nice flower beds and truly a feeling of being in a rural setting. The easiest way to get there would be driving. However, as you…
From Stamford By Train
I drove to JFK Airport recently on a Saturday. I was hoping it wouldn’t be a long and stressful drive. It was over 90 minutes coming and going and there were a lot of dangerous drivers. I mention this because this summer I am going to take the train for day trips as much as…
Weather
Last Saturday March 29th was an interesting weather day. The Stamford Temperature reached 76 degrees Fahrenheit and then dropped 25 degrees. I was walking when it started to drop. It wasn’t gradual. One step it was warm, the next step was noticeably colder. I was surprised that there could be two temperature extremes right next…
A Weekend Getawy

I wanted to take him to the National Aquarium in Baltimore Maryland as I had heard it is very good It is a three-and-a-half-hour train ride from Stamford to Baltimore. I didn’t want…
