A Sunday afternoon in Wakefield..

Last Sunday the better half and I took the steamtrain into Wakefield for an afternoon of fun...

There was some fantastic french canadian music (yes, to my better half's dismay, I was singing along)
the yummiest cheese bread we've ever tasted..
A delicious brunch at L'Hibou on the main strip.. (it had a vibe of Friends with owls all over the place... soooooo amazing) 
and we walked along the tracks through the village... (my better half pictured above)

fantastic day with my love.

This made my day...

"A photographer should never apologize for their work. Animals, still lifes and landscapes don’t complain, only people."

Winter in New York...

January is a great time to visit New York City if you want to avoid the crowds, find great deals, and don't mind the cold weather.

hmmm... do I feel a trip coming on? I think so...

more to come...
