Some lovely time lapse photography of Yosemite National Park, by Project Yosemite:
Yosemite HD II from Project Yosemite on Vimeo.
They introduce themselves (at www.projectyose.com) thusly:
“Project Yosemite is a time-lapse video project set in Yosemite National Park and shot by Colin Delehanty and Sheldon Neill. We started it in January 2012 after meeting through the video sharing website, Vimeo. The idea for the project came to us during our first overnight trip to Half Dome.”
Ted & Jody on the airplane flying to Boston
I don’t mean to knock Santa Cruz; it’s a lovely wonderful place and it is home… but in my heart and memory —and I feel it in my bones— New England is home home, my roots.
Jody and I flew a red eye to Boston, arriving 7:30 am. Got the rental car (Ford C-Max hybrid) and meandered north, visiting Salem and Danvers for some “witch history” since Rebecca Towne Nurse and Mary Towne Esty —2 of the women hanged— were my aunts… I’d been to Salem a few times before, but never to the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, a few miles away in Danvers, MA.

 Rebecca Towne Nurse Homestead, the original windows were probably built from glass and lead brought from England and in this style with diamond-shaped panes. |

 This model of the Rebecca Towne Nurse Homestead shows the various parts of the house that were added on over several centuries, to the original 1630s home. |

Jody loves these New England “Thickly Settled” signs
This bookstore was just amazing, with its 8′ tall stacks of books
Love it! Gotta love the Unitarian perspective.
1629!
