Travels through North Attleborough, Plainville & Cumberland

String theory

An ordinary bobbin of cotton twine I got it from my wife's uncles house when we were cleaning it out to sell it. This has to be pretty old, probably was made in the good old US of A, possibly as close as Pawtucket or Fall River. Anyway I digress....I was using it yesterday to tie up tomato plants and noticed the patterns and textures. Today being a shitty weather day I took these photos. Sometimes,(often I believe) the simplest objects, the most utilitarian of things are great photographic subjects. Do you agree? I also took pics of coal, a paint can, pill bottles but those will come later.
Enjoy and comment.
Thanks

Snappy

Snapping turtle pics as promised, late but here. Expected hatch is mid to late August.

Memorial Day 2009

I took the following pictures on Saturday May 23, 2009 at the town of North Attleborough's Memorial Day parade. A small south eastern Massachusetts town with history to colonial times it celebrates memorial day as it was meant to be, as a remembrance of those served and died in service to our nation. I think the pictures speak to the spirit of remembrance when so often these holidays become an excuse for consumption and excess.

Walk in the woods Part II

Part 2 of a "Walk in the Woods"
This segment is flora and fungi

of course with the obligatory departing turkey at the end....

A walk in the Woods Part 1

I went for a walk along an abandoned railroad right of way, The Old Colony line here in North Attleborough. I have walked here before so I had an idea of what I would see. The rail bed has a well defined path with off shoots to the right and left towards cow pastures, marshes, streams and a small reservoir, plenty of photo ops. I shot over 400 images so I'm going to have to break up this posting over several days. I think I'm going to theme it up a bit as well....enjoy.

This hen came out about 10 feet in front of me and walked right down the path in the opposite direction. I knew she was there as I had seen her from a distance and quietly walked up to where she was; but I didn't think she would pop out so close.

Ordinary objects

Everyday things around the house, a little different perspective.
Enjoy
