While out in the Boston hills yesterday getting some apples and pumpkins, we thought we might try and pick up a geocache. We didn’t find it, but we did find the newest feature in burial luxury:
… get out of Buffalo in January! Here I am, taking a walk on my lunch break, and even my fall/spring jacket is too warm! We’re going to have four straight days of ~50 degree weather? In BUFFALO?!? In JANUARY?!?!? I hope the rest of the country keeps that in mind the next time they…

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
