Rain in the evening

August 15 : Rain in the night and dog-day weather again after two clear days. I do not like the name "dog-days.​" Can we not have a new name for this season? It is the season for mould and mildew and foggy, muggy often rainy weather.
-Thoreau's​ Journal, 1858.

A Thoreau scholar and friend posted this. Seemed fitting as I listen to the rain pelt my window thus evening.

Cruise Night

Cruise Night in Lunenburg at Kimballs. Fun times.

Bel Air. I love vintage style cars. The curves and style.

Faucet as a hood ornament. As my friend pointed out..notice it's the HOT handle.

Vintage car reflecting modern life and my friend Chris.

Mount Wachusett

My first hike up Mt. Wachusett in central Massachusetts. Claimed to be the highest point in central MA. The info center historical data said it was 23,000 ft at some point in history but worn down by the weather. Rather startling. Rocky ascent took 20 minutes. I found the descent a bit tricky but went rather quick even with stopping to take a few phone shots. I love the rocks and saw a small snake slithered across my path on the way up.

Thoreau Letters 1853

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are, if indeed you cannot get it above them, than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise. 1853

April 26

The charm of the Indian to me is that he stands free and unconstrained in Nature, is her inhabitant and not her guest, and wears her easily and gracefully. But civilized man has the habits of the house. His house is a prison, in which he finds himself opposed and confined, not sheltered and protected. He walks as if he sustained the roof; he carries his arms as if the walls would fall in and crush him, and his feet remember the cellar beneath. His muscles are never relaxed. It is rare that he overcomes the house, and learns to sit at home in it...it is a great art to saunter. Journal 1841. HDT
