Holiday House Tour in Plymouth, MA

My friend, Gail, and I had a great time doing a self tour of 5 homes in Plymouth. A fund raiser that included a book of addresses obtained after paying $50, and a ticket for lunch at the country club. A very woman dominated event, car loads of happy women enjoyed seeing the beautifully decorated homes. We'll do it again next year!!

Mayflower Society House, it wasn't on the tour, but should have been.

Cabbage Still Life

Experimenting to see if this cabbage shows up in my blog....

Taken with my Canon 6D, hoping the quality is better than the last post. I added 3 textures in photoshop.

Testing out a New App for Making Blogger Posts

I'm giving the BlogTouch app a try, let's see how it posts this blog. All the images are from my iPhone and I'm using my iPad to make the post, no laptop involved.

The app was free yesterday, found it on Apps Gone Free, another free app that posts the best free ones everyday. This app, BlogTouch, is for both iPhone and iPad users that have Blogger blogs. 

 On Plymouth Beach with Ian on Saturday looking for Snowy Owls, found a beautiful one! Not close enough to get with my iPhone:-)
To see Ian's Snowy Owl image, take a look on Flickr here:

The old kitchen.

The new kitchen coming along, great big new window!

Here's what happened, I accidentally posted this post via the BlogTouch app on my other blog "Amy and Ian's Ecuadorian Adventures". I tried to post it again on this blog, but couldn't do it via BlogTouch. So I have to conclude operator error on not sending it to the correct blog, and I'll try again. It looks good on the Ecuadorian blog! I made it appear on this blog (using my laptop) by selecting the entire post while in edit format on the Ecuadorian blog, then pasting it here into a new post. Worked.

American's Hometown Thanksgiving Parade

Our annual Thanksgiving Parade in Plymouth is a very well attended event, the streets are lined on both sides for miles with people of all ages out enjoying a day in the sun. Joe, Christy and I had a great time photographing it and watching all the activity, and there was a lot of activity! I loved all the interesting people and did my best to capture the feel of the day, Saturday, November 23rd. 

Passing the time blowing bubbles, nice to not see a smart phone...

Straight out of a Dickens novel.

This little girl asked a stranger if she could pet his dog, and just loved this dog at first sight.

Like father like son. 

 Very comfortable in these old fashioned clothes.

  

Lots of marching bands.

 An agreeable model.

Lost in thought.

Not sure I'm liking it here...

Marching in yellow satin.

Street Photography Workshop with Essdras

Essdras M. Suarez and I led a street photography workshop in Boston yesterday, and what a great day to be out and about in Boston!! Spirits were high, the Red Sox parade took place and thousands of people came to enjoy the celebration.

We had scheduled our workshop months ago, and having all the fans in town was an extra bonus for us, along with the mild, perfect weather. A great time was had by all, and here are a few photos I took during our 8 hours of walking around Boston. The workshop was through my website Photography Events by Amy.

 The Boston Police were ready and looking good.

An agreeable and fun group of photographers attended the workshop, great spirit and energy made for a wonderful day.

 Ahh, the fans...

 In Chinatown time stands still, the old way is honored.

 Two of our photographers interacting with people on the street.

Beaches

Just a few of the beaches I've been lucky enough to spend time on this summer. I used the theme 'beaches' as our assignment for an iPhone group that meets once a month or so, we had some creative entries. Beaches are one of my favorite places, especially when it's not windy!

Early morning walk with Christy and Rita on White Horse Beach. iPhone.
