My Hobby

Sakura! Branch Brook Park Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossom trees were in full bloom at Branch Brook Park on Saturday. It was a perfect morning, with a very nice blue sky to contrast the trees. All of the shots were made with my D200, except this one, which I snapped on my way out of the park with the Canon G9. It turned out to be one of my favorites from the morning. The really soft shots (too soft???) were taken with a lens baby. I’m looking forward to making some prints of the better shots, and I am going to give Adorama a try for some larger prints.

Enjoy…








Best of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome

I wanted to put together a collection of some of my favorite shots from the RhineBeck Aerodrome. These WWI Biplanes have been taking to the skies for 49 years at the NY94 Airstrip. The Aerodrome opens on Fathers Day weekend this year, and if you are planning a trip to the Hudson Valley NY area, make sure you stop in and see these classic flying machines, and the people who keep them flying.

All of the images below will open a larger version when clicked… enjoy!
