About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Snow in Chaumont today

It snowed for the first time here in Chaumont, NY.  Well, the first time for the 2015-16 Winter season. Snapped this photo with my iPhone.

Beautiful November Day in Chaumont, NY

It is a stunningly beautiful day here in Chaumont, NY. 70 degrees, blue sky and no wind. I began to harvest dried out Kentucky Wonder Pole beans from my garden. They have been hit with a frost and the plants are all dead. The un harvested beans are dried out on the dead vines. The pods are brittle and papery. The beans inside are nicely dried out for storage or used now for bean soup or what ever.

It is also a great day for the Better Half who is driving to visiter her sister S near Cleveland, Ohio. She will be gone for a week leaving me to my own devices.
