Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I had briefly mentioned that N. and I had spent some recent time in North Adams, MA. I’m back now with all the deets, because you just might want to take some notes and replicate the experience we had. It was really that good. Honestly, though, I can’t remember which event came across my radar … Continue reading Pop (up) Art
While we were away last week, it seems we missed a couple of significant events. Apparently, mid week there was some weather which we were happy to have avoided. I love winter weather, but not the first week of April. At this point in the year, I want forsythia, not freezing temperatures and precipitation. In … Continue reading Unseen and seen

It was a challenge to gather 56 pictures. … Continue reading 56 Moments

I am not a traveler who feels the need to allocate every moment to an organized tour or event much preferring to select an item or two for each destination. For me, traveling is about being … Continue reading Have you ever been experienced?
