Ohio River Upbound – Part II (Jun 23 to

A few hours after we passed the halfway point to mile zero of the Ohio River, we arrived in Cincinnati.  It was an impressive arrival: skyline, football stadium, baseball stadium, rainbow bridges, fancy waterfront.  But no visible place for…

Ohio River Upbound – Part II (Jun 23 to Jul 6)

A few hours after we passed the halfway point to mile zero of the Ohio River, we arrived in Cincinnati.  It was an impressive arrival: skyline, football stadium, baseball stadium, rainbow bridges, fancy waterfront.  But no visible place for…

Ball House

Ball House as seen from or rather in a window of the Verre House on Church Street. Historic homes, preserved homes and just expensive homes make this south of Broad neighborhood such a visual delight. Travel & Leisure magazine refers to this area as one of the significant concentrations of wealth in this country. I am sure it […]

66 Church

Most of us look forward to going back, back to the scene of the crime or back to the old neighborhood, just to see what has changed. We have one acquaintance who relishes a return visit to the back alleys of Key West to see if the same derelict appliances are still there. I would take that ride with him […]

Edisto Beach Roots

We have perhaps become a bit too serious about this camera stuff when we go location scouting mid-day on a cloudless day in the south in the summer. Not yet certifiable, at least not yet. We wanted to get down there before this heat wave hits. So can’t say we were out in the sun […]

Back on Merritt Island

Our cruise to the Keys is over and we are back on Merritt Island.  Tied up just ahead of what became “Debby”.  Lots of wind and rain here, but nothing serious.  As we were cruising north, somewhere around Stuart if I remember correctly, …

Ohio River Upbound, Part 1 (Jun 14 to Jun 23)

We made the turn onto the Ohio River and were happy to see the heavily forested banks right down to the water, with occasional developed breaks and one stretch of unusual homes.  The Shawnee National Forest runs along much of the Illinois sid…
