Sunday, 08/03/2025: Posted photo — Dock View.
Here is an unusual angle for a photo. This was taken with my cellphone. I did not know how the photo was going to come out since all I did was put my phone on the deck of the dock and took this photo.
I am happy with the way this turned out. This might be the view of an ant, spider, or other small animal looking out at the water from the dock.
Monday, 08/04/2025: Posted photo — Ready to Hike.
My backpack resting on a signpost getting ready to hike. There was a new member of the group today and they had to travel to the ski area before our hike. There was enough time for them to go to the ski area and back prior to the hike.
While I was waiting, I was practicing some rope work and was planning for the hike. While I was doing this, I put my pack against this post. I looked over at my pack and thought that it would take a good photo for today.
For the ropework, I was trying out some different ways of tying knots. I want to practice now for winter hiking. I plan on bringing my rope on more hikes and have been practicing secure knots, quick release knots, self-release knots, and knots to use for guidelines. I only have a short section of rope, which should be all that I need for my hikes.
Tuesday, 08/05/2025: Posted photo — Sunset.
Once again, the smoke for the Canadian fires adds great color to the sunset. Someone I was with commented on the layering of the mountains and hills as the sun was setting.
Photos do not do justice to sunsets. You need to get out and experience them. I often joke that if you have seen one sunset, you have seen them all. I have seen uncountable amounts of sunsets over the years. Each one is different. Some are better than others, but they are all wondrous to view.
Wednesday, 08/06/2025: Posted photo — Where’s the Fire?
This is a photo from last week’s visit to the fire tower. It shows how the tower personnel use string to locate a fire. I have only one clear photo since there were many people in a small space in the lookout area.
The personnel spot smoke off in the distance and use a compass to locate the bearing for the smoke. They then place the string in the direction of the smoke. They would radio to adjacent towers to locate the smoke. Once the other towers locate the smoke, they send that bearings to the Wachusett tower. They then place string in the direction that the other towers spot the smoke. The intersection of the strings is the location of the fire.
Thursday, 08/07/2025: Posted photo — Sunflowers.
Not all sunflowers follow the sun. Young sunflowers face east to soak up sunlight in the morning and track the sun as it moves westward throughout the day. This process is called heliotropism. Once sunflowers have reached maturity, they stop following the sun and face east from then on.
Sunflower seeds are rich in nutrients. They are a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, and fiber, which can contribute to heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion.
Friday, 08/08/2025: Post photo — Wachusett Mountain.
Clear day have not been too common over the last few weeks due to haze and Canadian wildfires. Today, the humidity and haziness broke and there was a clear view of Wachusett Mountain from Round Meadow Pond.
My DSLR will be out of order for some time as I get it cleaned so I will have to use borrowed cameras and my cellphone. This photo was taken with my cellphone. I am a Canon person. My son is teaching a technology class that uses Nikon cameras. I hope that Simon & Garfunkel are correct. How many of you understand that last statement.
Saturday, 08/09/2025: Post photo — All Dried Up.
In the spring, there were many days without sun. Lately there have been many days without rain. Some of the lakes and reservoirs in this area still appear to have plenty of water in them. As you can see by this photo, they do not.
Water over the dam at Round Meadow Pond normally stops flowing this time of year. This year is not exception. This still made a good photo due to the blue sky.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

Sunday, 08/03/2025: Posted photo — Campfire.
There was a slight chill in the air, so we started a campfire. What I like to take long exposure photos of campfires to capture their warmth. When there are many sparks coming out of the fire, it makes for a better photo.
Like last summer, wildfires are burning in Canada. The fires are burning in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Québec and Northwest Territories, including Yukon. Over the last few days, the smoke from those fires has reached my area.
Smoking is a health hazard for many people. The smoke also leads to some interesting colors for sunrise and moonrise. The sun and moon turn a reddish color. This makes sense that they both have the same color, since we see the reflection of the Sun off the moon.
There are four United States national parks that are also burning at this moment. Fires are burning on north and south rim of the Grand Canyon (the Dragon Bravo Fire), the Bear Gulch Fire is in Olympic National Park, the South Rim Fire is in Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and the Ash Fire was just recently discovered in Yellowstone National Park. Knowing people with red cards, firefighters in the national parks, unless the fire causes risk to people or property, they let the fires burn. Fires are just part of nature and help the forest flourish.
Lightning started the fires in the Grand Canyon, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Yellowstone. Humans started the fire in Olympic National Park. I have been to all four of these parks and they are worth the visit.
Tuesday, 08/05/2025: Posted photo — Bass.
My nephews were fishing tonight and one of them caught this bass. They like fishing but do not like taking the fish off the line.
When I was growing up, my father would take my six brothers and me on fishing and camping trips. The techniques for fishing have not changed much over the years. The equipment has changed some due to improvement in materials. The reason for fishing has not changed. Fishing relaxes you and teaches you to be patience.
A present for me, a Nifty Fifty. This is a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM lens.
I will be using this lens to take portraits and for astrophotography. I plan on using this lens in low light situations since it has the largest aperture of all my lenses. I am looking forward to learning all that I can about my nifty fifty. Many photographers have a 50mm lens and say good things about having one. Now it is my turn to find out.
Thursday, 08/07/2025: Posted photo — Chicken.
I cooked chicken on the grill tonight. Since I have my new lens, I took a photo of the chicken. In need to practice with this lens, since I will be photographing two weddings this summer.
I am not happy with this photo. It seems to be out of focus. I am wondering if it is the lens, my camera, or me. I need to work on my camera settings to get a sharper photo. I have used this lens twice and have not been happy with the results either time. Sometimes I am my worst critic.
The next step in the process is to send my camera out to have its sensors cleaned and electronics checked out. I purchased my camera in 2014 and have used it well past it shutter life. A Canon EOS 60D camera is typically rated for 100,000 shutter actuations. This means the camera’s shutter mechanism is designed to reliably operate for that number of shots.
Friday, 08/08/2025: Post photo — Hobblebush.
The Hobbleberry is a species of edible viburnum common as a woodland understory plant. It produces delicious edible berries. I have never tried to eat them. I just found out today that they are edible so I might have to try them next Monday when I am hiking.
Saturday, 08/09/2025: Post photo — Smokey the Bear.
The Tuesday night hiking group hikes up Wachusett since we knew someone famous was going to be there and we knew this was the one time of the year that people were allowed in the fire tower. Smokey the Bear was at the summit. He was visiting on his birthday.
Smokey Bear turned 80 years old last year. I went to see him then, but the line was too long. I was on the mountain photographing some trail work for the Appalachian Mountain Club and they had to get back to work. Smokey says, “Only you can prevent wildfires”.
It was interesting to see how the area fire towers triangulate to determine the location of a fire. One tower spots the smoke and relays the message to the nearest towers in that direction. They then take a bearing on the smoke and then triangulate with string to pinpoint the location of the fire.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

Sunday, 07/27/2025: Posted photo — Mary and Jesus.
This is a photo of Mary with Jesus. This statue is on the altar of our church. Next to Mary and Jesus is the Paschal Candle.
The Paschal candle represents Christ. The candle is made from pure beeswax represents the sinless Christ. The wick signifies His humanity, the flame, His Divine Nature, both soul and body. Five grains of incense inserted into the candle in the form of a cross recall the aromatic spices with which His Sacred Body was prepared for the tomb, and of the five wounds in His hands, feet, and side.
As Catholic’s know, Jesus died for all of us, not just a chosen few. He died for those we love, those we hate, people with different political and sociological views, different skin color or nationalities. People forget this these days.
Monday, 07/28/2025: Posted photo — Foundations.
These are some of the foundations that will be installed for the new ski lift on Wachusett Mountain.
Every week, I take my group of hikers to the ski area to watch the progress. We have seen the old towers and lift being removed. Now we are seeing the new equipment being installed.
Tuesday, 07/29/2025: Posted photo — Hibiscus.
Hibiscus flowers generally symbolize beauty, grace, and delicate charm. Different colors can have more specific meanings, with red often representing passion and love, white signifying purity and innocence, and yellow symbolizing friendship or happiness.
These are new hibiscus planted at my in-law’s house. I don’t know when they were planted since I have been traveling most of the summer.
Photo from the summit of Madden Peak (11,982 feet) looking at Parrott Peak (11,871 feet). We did the saddle to Parrott Peak from Madden Peak but did not climb to the summit. It was a very hot day with not much breeze, even at this elevation.
This was a great day for a hike. Glad I finally conquered this peak. On to the next one during my next trip to Colorado.
Thursday, 07/31/2025: Posted photo — Fishing.
Jonah and Jonah (along with Freedom) went out fishing. This was a great day for family to get together as part of my wife’s family’s reunion week.
There was plenty of food and fun this week. The older Jonah did catch a few fish. He is a catch and release fisherman. We did have a campfire going, but they did not want to cook the fish.
Friday, 08/01/2025: Post photo — Water Lilly.
The water lily represents purity of heart, tranquility, and peace. Its ability to float gracefully on the water, seemingly untainted by the dirt beneath, makes it a powerful symbol of inner beauty and resilience. They are also a great place for fishing.
These water lilies have been frequented by beavers and ducks. I would just sit on the shoreline and enjoy nature. Watching the ducks swim in the water lilies, diving for food, and seeing the beaver swim to the lilies to feast on some of the flowers.
Saturday, 08/02/2025: Post photo — First Quarter Moon.
Today is the day for the first quarter moon.
There are eight phases of the moon. The phases are, in order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The cycle repeats about once a month (every 29.5 days). As the Moon orbits the Earth, the Sun lights up different parts of it, making it seem as if the Moon is changing shape.
Even with all the full moon photos I have taken, the one that I want to succeed at is one of the crescent moons with the earthshine. Earthshine is a phenomenon where the dark portion of the Moon appears to glow faintly, illuminated by sunlight reflected off the Earth.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

Sunday, 07/20/2025: Posted photo — Bed of Roses.
A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of the roses in our front yard waiting for a flower bed to be installed. This is the flower bed that I put in. It is not as raised as I would have liked, but the frame still allows me to protect the roses during the winter.
Once I am sure the roses are stable, I will design the protection for the harsh winter weather.
Horsetail Falls is a waterfall located on Horsetail Creek along the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County, Oregon. It is 224 feet tall and is just down the road from Multnomah Falls.
The bottom of this fall is a good swimming hole. There were many people cooling off under the falls. We did not go swimming since we arrived at our campsite and wanted to see both Multnomah Falls and Horsetail Falls.
Tuesday, 07/22/2025: Posted photo — Trying to Hide.
This group of Chicken of the Woods mushrooms was trying to hike in the burl of this tree. They are doing a good job blending in. Once the mushrooms age, and turn brown, you may not be able to spot them.
I am amazed sometimes about the time it must of took to carve words into rocks on the trails. This marking has the name of the trail on Wachusett Mountain.
There are many other graffiti carvings as you get to the summit. There were a few hotels on the mountain and the kids must have carved this into the rocks, just as in modern day kids use spray paint. Only that carving in the rock would have taken much longer to do.
Thursday, 07/24/2025: Posted photo — Echo Lake.
The primary difference between a pond and a lake is in their depth and the penetration of sunlight. Ponds are shallower, allowing the sunlight to reach the bottom, while lakes are deeper. A pond generally has a uniform temperature while the temperature profile for a lake is not uniform. There are no definitive definitions for the differences, just the general rule of thumb.
Echo Lake is not very deep. I can see the bottom while looking at it. It may be called a lake by those that named it because they did not know the difference. They did use this body of water in the winter months to cut out blocks of ice to be used in ice boxes before there was reliable refrigeration.
Friday, 07/25/2025: Post photo — Communication Towers.
Here is a photo of some communication towers on the summit of Wachusett Mountain.
I do not know if they are active or not. I have heard conflicting reports about their use and cannot find any information on their use. I should have gone to the building and looked for any signs. I have seen signs on the stone building next to them, but that was a few years ago.
As with most things, you see them many times and then you just see them. I have gone by these towers hundreds of times and can tell you many things about the building, but what is on signage.
Saturday, 07/26/2025: Post photo — Wind Energy.
This is a photo of one of the two wind turbines used by the Princeton Municipal Light Department and are located at the trailhead for the Stage Coach Trail on Wachusett Mountain.
Selected information on these turbines from the PMLD website: Each blade on the turbine is 125 feet long and weighs six tons. The blade tip speed is 204 mph with the turbine turning at 17-20 rpm. The annual energy output of the two turbines is 4,000,000 kWh’s. The wind speed needed to start producing energy is 7 mph. The cutout wind speed is 45 mph. In 2010, the turbines produced 6,001 MWh of power and in 2023 only produce 2762 MWh of power. I cannot find out any information regarding the reduced power output.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

The Columbine was chosen as Colorado’s state flower because of its beauty, its representation of the state’s natural environment, and its symbolic significance. It was officially designated on April 4, 1899, following a vote by Colorado schoolchildren in 1891.
I saw many columbines of different colors during my hike today.
Monday, 07/14/2025: Posted photo — Madden Peak.
I finally conquered this 12K peak. The peak is 11,982 feet tall, close enough to call it a 12K peak. There were great views at the summit. I drank plenty of water and had snacks to avoid altitude sickness.
This was my second attempt at the summit. A few years ago, I was about 400 feet from the summit when it looked like a storm rolled in. That was a good choice to turn around since there was hail, thunder and lightning and heavy rain.

This is the view of the Mesa in Mesa Verde National Park. My brother-in-law and I hiked to the edge of the mesa. My BIL works at the park.
It was a warm down hike after hiking on the 10K Via Ferrata and the 12K Madden Peak.
Shoshone Falls, known as the “Niagara of the West,” is a majestic waterfall on the Snake River in Idaho. This was a wonderful side trip on our way to camp near the Oregon Trail.

The Oregon Trail was a 2,170-mile (3,492 km) emigrant route to the Willamette Valley in Oregon, used by hundreds of thousands of American pioneers from 1841 to 1880. It stretched from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon City, Oregon. Tonight’s campsite was just off the Oregon Trail.
There was a visitor information center that featured some covered wagons. This is one of them.
Saturday, 07/19/2025: Post photo — Multnomah Falls OR.
Multnomah Falls is a waterfall located on Multnomah Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, Oregon. According to Native American lore, Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe.
The upper falls is 542 feet tall and the lower falls is 69 feet tall.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

One of the trail signs in Buttermilk Falls State Park, Ithaca NY. This was on the Gorge Trail in the park.
This was not the first time I was at Gateway Arch. I was there a few years ago. It looked like the entrance to the Arch was moved from the first time I was there. I had more time today to explore the Arch and the area. I did not go into the Arch again.
Friday, 07/11/2025: Post photo — Busch Stadium.
I was looking forward to going to Busch Stadium. This is the site that the Red Sox broke the curse in 2004. Not the same stadium. This one was built in 2006. The ushers were asking us if we were rubbing in the World Series victory since we had Red Sox shirts on. They were just joking with us.
Saturday, 07/12/2025: Post photo — Bridal Veil Falls.
Bridal Veil Falls in Telluride CO. I passed these falls as I was going to the Via Ferrata trailhead. I did not do the entire Via Ferrata. I did the part where there was ground under my feet. I turned around before doing the section that was along the cliff face with only steel rungs to put your feet.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

This is the Gospel cover at our church. I like the details on the cover. The book is very heavy, and the inside message is important.
I took this photo when I was putting up the numbers for the hymns. Looks like I was too close, so the top of the holder is cut off.
Monday, 06/16/2025: Posted photo — Foot on Summit.
Whenever I hike a mountain, I tough the summit. I have hiked Wachusett many, many times (hundreds of times) and always touch the summit. Some people think that it is strange that I do this. It is just a habit of mine.
Tuesday, 06/17/2025: Posted photo — Burl on Walnut.
A burl on a tree is a large, rounded outgrowth, often found on the trunk or branches. These growths are typically a result of stress or injury to the tree, like damage from insects, fungi, or physical trauma. Burls are used to make furniture.
This tree is at the intersection of West Side Trail and Old Indian Trail on Wachusett Mountain. I have often wondered what the cause of this tree’s injury was.
Wednesday, 06/18/2025: Posted photo — Watermelon.
The entire watermelon is usable. Pickled rind is the most widely known way to eat the rind, but it can also be candied, juiced, stewed, and baked.
That is something to think about. How many of you have eaten watermelon rind. I may have to try this sometime.

Friday, 06/20/2025: Post photo — More Mountain Laurel.
Busy day. I wanted to take a photo of a daily routine to use for my other photo project. Just ended up taking a photo of one of the other mountain laurel bushes in our yard.
These are pink. The ones I posted last week were white.
Saturday, 06/21/2025: Post photo — Camping.
This is my tent set up in our backyard. I set it up in our backyard to dry it out from last weekend’s Relay for Life. I set it up on Monday night before my hike. When I came back from my hike on Monday, my tent was still damp, so I left it set up.
It has been raining and very humid most of the week. Unlike most weekends lately, it rained during the week and not on the weekend. I was finally able to take down my tent and get it ready for my next backpacking adventure.
That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.

Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.
Pentecost is the day that the Holy Spirit fell upon the Apostles and gave them the courage to go out and speak to the people about the faith. Before the Holy Spirit fell upon the Apostles, they did not know what why they were told to spread the Good News, and how they were going to do so.
They left their shelter and spoke to the people. Each heard them in their own voice. The message was one of love and understanding. These are all people, not just the people that you like.
Today, people forget this message to love one and other and to preach kindness to one and other. Today, if you are not of the same social economic class, same religion, same skin color, come from the same country, you are an outcast and troublemaker. The message of the Holy Spirit is to include all, help all, and love all, even if you are told not to do so.
Monday, 06/09/2025: Posted photo — Jack Frost Trail.
What a great hike today. The mountain was fogged in so there was an airy feeling on the hill. I just finished two weekends of teaching navigation, so tonight was a perfect day to use the skills that I taught to navigate the mountain. This is from old-growth area of the Jack Frost Trail. Most of the mountain was clear cut, apart from this area of Jack Frost and an area around the visitor center.
When I saw this area, to took out my cellphone and took this picture. I liked the way the fog and the old growth contrasted with each other.
Wachusett Mountain is home to one of the largest known stands of old-growth forest in Massachusetts, covering approximately 100 acres. These trees, some dating back to the 1600s, have not been cut and are living out their natural lifespans of several hundred years. The mountain also boasts a high diversity of lichen species, including those rarely collected in Massachusetts.
Tuesday, 06/10/2025: Posted photo — Mountain Laurel in Bloom.
Last week I posted a photo of the mountain laurel in our year starting to bud. This week I am posting a photo of the delicate looking flowers on the mountain laurel. There were a few areas in which there was more bloom than other areas.
Mountain laurel is unsafe for people to take by mouth. It can cause many side effects such as pain, cold sweats, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, numbness, dizziness, headache, fever, loss of vision, muscle weakness, serious heart and lung problems, death, and other severe side effects. You can touch mountain laurel, just don’t eat it.
Wednesday, 06/11/2025: Posted photo — Lost Summit.
One of my brothers made a 3-D topographical model showing the relationships between contour lines. I use this model during my classes over the last couple of weekends. The model was in an old hockey elbow pad bag that the summit piece fell out of.
He needed the model back from some training he was giving, so I taped up the holes in the bag so that the pieces did not fall out. When I put the pieces in the bag, I saw that all of them were in it, including the summit, so I thought.
Later in the day, after I handed the model off to another hiking leader to bring to my brother, the summit was found on our living room floor. The model will still work for training purposes. I just need to find a way to always keep it in the bag, otherwise the mountain cannot be claimed!
Thursday, 06/12/2025: Posted photo — Waiting for a Bed.
These rose bushes have been at our house for a few weeks and I have not been able to plant them due to the weather. We have been looking for a good location to plant them, since we had rose bushes before and they did not like their location. We tried multiple locations with no luck.
The new location seems to be a good one for them. The only problem is that they are in an area that gets the heaviest snowfall. The area is also in a location where snow is thrown while shoveling the walkway of the roof.
It was decided to make a raised flower bed in this location to plant them. This will be one of my first summer projects. I just need to keep room around the bed for mowing the lawn and for shoveling the walkway and roof.
Friday, 06/13/2025: Post photo — Daisy.
Today is the first day of the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. I took this photo earlier in the day since I do not know how busy I will be tonight. I will be taking photos at the RFL and will be posting one for tomorrow’s photos.
The photo that I plan on posting is one of the luminaires that are around the track. Luminaries are bags with candles in them. The bags have the names of cancer survivors, living and deceased. I take a photo of the luminaires every year.
About the photo — I saw a few patches of daisies as I was packing my vehicle with supplies for the RFL. I spotted the bug resting on one of the daisies. I always look for bugs or bees on flowers since they take a better photo than just the flower on its own.
Saturday, 06/14/2025: Post photo — Luminaria.
Luminarias honor every life touched by cancer. They are dedicated to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who’s overcome it. It is one of the most emotional ceremonies at RFL.
Here are some of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of luminaria that surrounded the track last night.
