2012 RV Trip to Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado

Forty and Twenty years ago I went to the Grand Canyon. This Spring I was time to go again. In 1992 Leona and I drove out and Hiked the Bright Angel Trail to Indian Gardens.  In 1972 I went out west for 11 weeks and hiked all the way to the Colorado River on the same trail and spent the night under many stars. This time we flew to Phoenix and rented an RV seeing many Ruins and Museums in three states. Neither of us hiked the Bright Angel Trail this time. Many more images in the  2012 RV Trip Smugmug Gallery.

Chihuly Glass at the MFA Boston

Finally got to the MFA Boston to see the Dan Chihuly glass exhibit. Absolutely fantastic. PHotos do not do it justice, but a did take a few, since unlike many special exhibits at the MFA, Dan Chihuly actually encourages visitors to make images of his art work. If you like what you see in my Gallery, do go see his work in real life. It will be worth the effort.

Feeding the Rust Junkie

One of my favorite things to shoot is Rust. Came across a treasure trove of rusty metal yesterday at a demolition site added 8 images to a gallery that now has  82 images.

If you are a Rust Junkie like me I know you will enjoy these.

Andres Institute of Art

A hill side of Sculptures, some in an old quarry. Andres Institute of Art. Leona and I discovered this place through the New England Photo Expeditions' Meetup listings. There are 59 sculptures plus on many trails and old sky slopes. They were executed by artists from all over the world who came there to sculpt them.

We only saw a small portion of them, some seven or so. The one at the left (a detail) is Five Dimensions and Counting by David Phillips a Massachusetts artist.


This is a site to be seen over a couple days or more or in several trips. More at my gallery at the title link.

Statues by Paulette H. Carr at Blithewold Arboretum

There are currently 8 statues by local Bristol, R.I. artist Paulette H. Carr. At left is Peplum. From the Map flyer, "Draped and elegant, Peplum is made of burlap, steel, resin and wood. The word Peplum originates in the ancient Greek word peplos or tunic, whose style has evolved to draping or pleating at the waist. Here the draping is dramatic and rich in texture." To see the other seven and other recent images from Blithewold, click on the title link. At the Arboretum through October 3, 2010.

Enjoy, Don
