Daily Photo: Soldiers and Sailors Monument

This is one of the figures on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at East Rock Park in New Haven, CT. I like her book. :-)

Daily Photo: Mayflower II

Le boyfriend and I went to see Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower II on our way out of Cape Cod. That's a really, really big rope. "You and your fuckin' rope..." kept running through my mind while we were looking at it. Boondock Saints = awesome.

Daily Photo: Mini Dock

At the edge of my Grandma's property, there runs a creek. I've had a love-hate relationship with that creek for my entire life: it's awesome, because ducks come and hang out up at the house from the creek (love ducks), less awesome because sometimes there are Canadian geese (freaking HATE geese), and some days, it just sucks because the water is super muddy/gross and I'm not stepping in that stuff. My cousins, Ben and Nate, have no such issue and would spend many hours of their visits hanging out in the creek, while I sat in the air conditioned house.

The neighbors have a little dock that I think I've seen a kayak/canoe tied up to maybe twice. Totally underused. But, it makes for a pretty picture.
