It looks like both Dad and I have some new digital real estate.
My father is a professional photographer and now has a web site to show some of his works. I love his bear series of photographs and hope you will too. The cool thing is that he is also providing some facts and conservation [...]

Ok…if you want to find out what a Caprellid is without the family spin skip to the bottom.
One of the family’s big presents this year was a nice zoom dissecting microscope with a set of 50 metazoan and 50 plant biology classroom slides. Johann and Tammy have been going through a few prepared slides per [...]

If you’re looking for just my Photography, you’ll find it on Flickr where I use the screen name EclecticEchoes. Again Thank you for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you like what you see.
Sooo…
The group of people at Earth Shots contacted me to ask about posting A Mother’s [...]
People laughed when Eric said he loved Belize so much, that if it wasn’t for the fact that Johann and I were waiting for him at home, he wouldn’t have come back. They don’t realize how serious he was. They didn’t hear how flat his voice sounded on the phone when he called me from [...]

Miss Suzanne told us about the Walter Wick exhibit at the New Britain Museum of Art, which ran from September to November. We finally made the time to go on Veterans Day. Trying to find the place was challenging, since so many roads in CT are simply not labeled. Quite often you will be on [...]

Finally, the chance to check out Aperture and Lightrooom (oops that’s “Photoshop Lightroom” now…whatever…), head to head so to speak on the same machine with the same photo sets.
I really am impressed with lightroom from a workflow standpoint. Almost everything in on app, and set up fairly logically, though I do [...]
Somehow I managed to find my way to FreeSpirit Wear who have some really cool cycling jerseys. I especially love their Oregon and Washington jerseys, but by far my favorite is the upcomming Denali jersey. Their wind jacket looked really nice with a solid front removable sleeves and mesh back. The design on it [...]
I stumbled across an amazing photo from the 2003 Tour de France at Chain Reaction Bicycles that in many ways and on many levels touched me deeply…and made me think about Johann and the beginning of a love of cycling in him.
Last year we got Johann his first bike. This year both Tammy and I [...]

Harbinger of SpringOriginally uploaded by eclectic echoes.
Today marks the return of the robin to Mystic. Large voracious flocks of them have descended on the berries and trees here. I tried counting them, but they were flitting to and fro in large numbers. At one point there were at least 25 stripping the remaining berries from [...]
