Things made of glass!

Weather is unpredictable - this was a half hour on Wednesday evening.

This man was part of a family business started many many years ago and was the largest bagel seller in all of North America (never mind right here in CT) - he turned 80 and I worked setting up his birthday party. Here are some of the pics.

There are 190 guests invited for this party - it started at 7:00 pm - I worked from noon to six and then left exhausted but glad the way it turned out

check this out if you'd like some of the history of this man - Murray Lender

These are some photos from one of my trips to Italy I've come across and played with them a bit.

Clouds are beautiful. No two are ever alike, no boundaries around them and they are forever changing. Take a moment and see for yourself.

These are photos that I've entered here in Fotkiland over the past five or six years.

They are also in sequence by dates (the most current to the oldest ones)

Some foods I thought looked good enough to photograph.

It's amazing after a contest begins, I find all the different photos I actually have of the subject and had forgotten about. These are all the trees that I could have chosen from and didn't remember I had.

Watch it with a slideshow - I think that's better

Doesn't everyone love a kalidescope...Changing always...Just looking into one lets your imagination run wild. Daydream away!!
Everyone has a different view of what they see.

The photos in this album are random shots I've taken over a period of time ...these were all done with my 35mm Canon AE1 and scanned into the album. None were done with digital. I've owned my 35mm for over 20 years and it still works like a charm.

I had these cakes in my "Food" album - but they're really not food - I guess they're too sweet - so I moved them out and have them standing on their own...some are fantastic looking.

These are some pics I did while playing around with some of the programs I have...most were done a couple of years ago and I've just added a few new ones. Come take a peek !!

Here you will see some quilts that were entered in the Northeast Quilt Festival competition...a very time consuming hobby with some really beautiful results.

Even I get bored at times, so when that happens, I have to create something... Never want to waste a day. Here's the drapes I made that Saturday. ;-)

Has anyone guessed by now that I happen to like the "Doors"

Three of my photos made it to the special anniversary issue of the Trafalgar Tours magazine...It's titled "DREAM" ... remember people, having a dream is something you don't already have - a "dream" I have wanted was my photos somewhere other than Fotki and guess what...this "dream" came true for me.

When traveling anywhere I buy something small to bring home with me...here are a few of the things I've collected as souveniers along the way. None of the Xmas ornaments are shown here - those are in the Xmas album.

These pictures are the setting up of parties and weddings before the guests arrive. Such a fun thing. Its good to see what goes on to get the place ready for the people.

This job is secondary to my Mon-Fri job at Yale University.


**Note**
When there are so many photos in any one album I strongly suggest slideshow as the best viewing

I was involved in volunteering for this fundraiser - it was founded to raise the academic achievement of disadvantaged public school children here in CT. It was a huge success and we enjoyed ourselves while raising money for the kids, their parents and teachers. You can visit this organization at www.cfalct.org to learn more about what we were working for.

Take away the color and the real beauty shows through - simple but true!
