photos: My grandmother, Erma "Jonnie" Fisk
- 07/20/13 11:46 AM
My grandmother, Erma "Jonnie" Fisk The Bird Lady This picture hangs in the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Plymouth, Massachusetts, an institution for which my grandmother was a founding board member. "Amah" to us, and "Jonnie" to her many friends around the world, was an ornithologist. When she told children what her work was called, and they would invariably respond, with a quizzical look, "An ornith . . . huh?", she would lean down and say, "A bird lady, honey, a bird lady." Her work with the Audobon Society included travels around the world. While working for the Nature Conservancy, she … (6 comments)

This is my favorite picture of me and my son, Grayson, who turned 15 recently. He was nine in this picture, and growing up fast. He is now 6'3" and is following his destiny by teaching at computer camp this summer near Boston. A great new world awaits him and his friends. It's a world unlike any we've ever known. It's a world that's unimaginable to anyone alive today. We will ride toward that tomorrow together. I love you, Gray. … (8 comments)

I grew up looking out the third-floor window in the front. The one with the Juliet balcony. It wasn't hard to scramble out onto the roof, sometimes with a guitar. The first picture below shows the view from my window. I seem to remember that I could see more of the National Cathedral. Perhaps its the photo, or perhaps the houses grew up, too.
The interior looks remarkably similar to the way my parents decorated it 40 years ago, even though there have been several owners … (3 comments)

photos: The Turn in the River
- 06/04/13 11:13 PM
A home I visited recently had several Ansel Adams prints in very attractive frames and in very appropriate spaces that made coming upon the photographs a very appealing, almost breathtaking moment. So I started leafing through my collection of Ansel Adams photography. This photo is of a famous turn in the river near Page, Arizona. Bonus points to anyone who knows the river, the owner of the land it's on and/or some of the other natural attractions nearby!
I love this bedroom with an aquarium for a headboard. I once designed a 40-foot entrance hall that had an aquarium on all four sides. Mirrored underfloor. Open walls to the rooms on the sides. Never built it. Saw one like it somewhere in a picture, but I don't know where it is. Do any of you know of anything similar?

photos: My friend, Bailey
- 05/25/13 11:50 PM
Bailey was Kathy's 14-year old, 90-pound Akita-Terrier dog and our friend. If she wasn't up at 7:30, and often earlier, to take him out for his run, and as he got older, his walk, he would bark until she was. He was a very loyal and happy dog. He disliked thunder and fireworks. He loved people, children and other dogs. He chased squirrels, but he never caught them. We love you, and we'll miss you, Bailey.

The Tree of Knowledge monument, at a road intersection in Duxbury, commemorates the post riders meeting place in our town. Below what's legible, it says, "Duxbury Tricentenary 1937". That is, the monument was erected on the occasion of Duxbury's 300th birthday, now more than 75 years ago.

- 05/07/13 05:41 AM
Thomas Dowd, Photographer A lifelong resident of the South Shore, Thomas Dowd is a photographer who revels in the beauty of our smal corner of the planet. It shows in his vibrant, breathing portrayals of the landscape, whether his feet are on the ground or a thousand feet in the air. Remember dark rooms? Tom is glad that the days of developing his pictures in the darkness of a room filled with trays of chemicals is over. Now, like nearly every photographer, his vision, once it is captured on a digital canvas, takes shape in a photo editor. The results are … (9 comments)
