Getting ready for New York and Boston

As the weather has climbed back into the mid 90s here in Green Valley we are looking forward to predicted 70s in New York. This trip has been in the planning stages for about three years, and we are finally going to make our first visit to New York and Boston with a few days driving up to New Hampshire and Vermont to see if the leaves have turned colorful (hope so). We will be escorted by our good friends Ira and Fran.

We will use this Blog to share our experiences and a few pictures with you as we travel. If you want to be notified when I post a new message, go to the bottom of this screen and "Subscribe" to the blog. You will then get an e-mail message and link (I think) to the new posting. I'm trying this method to see how it works for friends and family. You can leave a comment and we will receive it, although anyone else reading the blog will be able to see it as well.

I have been practicing with my wide-angle lens for close-up pictures. This is an 18 inch prickly pear cactus in our front yard. Thanks to "Live View" on my new camera I didn't have to lay on the ground to take the picture.

That's it for now. Grace and Paul
