Can a city accurately be called a CITY if it's population is under 300,000?  I am pretty sure I know every person that lives here, 

and in WNY the "One Degree of Separation Theory" applies to all residents.

Buffalo is the "Land of All Festivals".  Every Fest known to man exists here, most that belong exclusively to us and new ones that 

are invented here on a weekly basis, then crammed into our 3.2 months of warm weather.  

From Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, you DO NOT, under any circumstances, vacate the area!

Nature Photography and Preservation

– Towering, Spiraling, Mandatory Trees –

It doesn't look like much now, but it will be full of life again in the Spring.

It doesn't look like much now, but it was a protective home to many animals in it's time!

Trees are amazing things.  The two in these photos are in an ever-decreasing, rare wooded area in suburban Buffalo, NY.  

As little green space as we have remaining, the needless, senseless, conscious-less ground clearing and building continues.

According to the Arbor Day Foundation planting trees helps to fight Global Warming.

('Planetary Destabilization' seems to be the more accurate description, at this point.)

"As trees grow, they help stop global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.  While fighting global warming, trees provide many benefits to all of us, every day. They provide cooling shade, block cold winter winds, attract birds and wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add grace and beauty to our homes and communities."

Learn more about Global Warming from the experts.  Then plant a tree and help to reduce your  carbon footprint!

Environment & Animal Rights

This illustration was designed for my Hybrid Civic, and also made a great t-shirt!

Logo design of perfect harmony (along with a stern warning) for my various projects, including the t-shirt below:

If only I could arm the world's animals, so they could preserve themselves!

(OK, maybe a harpoon is not terribly harmonious, but "desperate times"... etc...)

Trotting Photography

– Buffalo YMCA Turkey Trot –

At 9am every freeezing Thanksgiving morning since 1896, over 13,000 hearty runners, walkers, singles and families 

take to the streets of downtown Buffalo for the legendary 8k Turkey Trot.  It is the oldest continually 

running footrace in North America, a major spectacle and one of our most loved events!  

Along the Allegheny River

It's a beautiful ride along the Alleghey River at any time of year, always scenic and full of surprises no matter the weather! 
Somewhere near the PA border around Bradford were a LOT of Herrons flying from tree to tree over the squiggly river, 
squaking loudly.  It's quite an obnoxious sound for such a beautiful animal!

... under cloudless blue skies, in the warm sunshine, soaking in another picture-perfect 
Fall day in Buffalo.  In an effort to take full advantage of the extra hour I was awarded, 
I went for an early AM walk, 'tanned'on the deck, rode my bike and strolled around the ponds, all the while mindlessly contemplating nothing.

And as fast as it began, the weekend has come to an end.

Time flies when you're getting old.
