#1 fan of the biggest little state, Rhode Island. Weather & history nerd, tree hugger, supporter of local journalism, father of 3, husband of a saint. Kayaking, hiking, and I've walked at least 1 mile daily without missing a day since October 27, 2022!
Really cool shot by my wife. If you zoom in, you'll see a honey bee in the same flower. #hummingbirds #bees Rhode Island, USA.
Smoky sky from the forest fires in Canada with a bird on top of a cross taking in the view of the eerie sun. Lincoln, Rhode Island.
I grew up next to a working dairy farm. It's still in operation today. My mom sent this photo of cow manure being spread out on the field last week. That smell is strangely nostalgic for me 💩
Memorial Day weekend in New England. 2nd year in a row with cold and rainy weather, and sitting by the fireplace under a blanket. In true New England form, I'm also watching This Old House.
Back on the water today. 82 and sunny. Water temp was 62 which for early April is impressive. (shallow lake warms quickly) Shoulder injury this past Fall so I'm grateful to be able to kayak albeit slowly.
I heard Wood Frogs for the first time this year. Spring has arrived! Volume up for that sweet sound of happy frogs. #RhodeIsland #Spring #frogs
Hello Providence I see you out there looking great as always. Shot taken today from Cumberland, RI. #RhodeIsland #Providence #CumberlandRI
Rhode Island is truly a gem of a state. Nice winter walk around the Monastery in Cumberland today.
Dead calm this morning in Lincoln, RI. A few splashes of foliage here and there.
Perfect beach day today in Rhode Island today. Water is still nice!
Goodbye August. The golden hour in Narragansett, Rhode Island. #summer #beach #RhodeIsland
I'm digging the pastel colors on the I-way bridge in Providence this evening.
Summer sunrise this morning. My FB Marketplace used kayak has been one of my best purchases. #sunrise #summer #newenglandlife
A beach day is always better than a work day. #RhodeIsland #beach
Coffee cup salute to all the dads out there! #fathersday #bennys #coffeecupsalute
I recently kayaked around upper Narragansett Bay. I kept thinking how fortunate I am to live in such a beautiful state. #RhodeIsland #kayaking Here are a few of my photos from this paddle.
This is typically the week I put our window ACs in for the Summer but Instead I opted roaring fire. 47 degrees with light rain tonight in Rhode Island.
I was busy discovering beautiful Rhode Island today. Wood River is a special place. #RhodeIsland #kayaking #nature
This serene scene was interrupted by me sneezing loud enough that it caused nearby birds to take flight.
After a long winter, I was finally able to kayak after work on this top 10 weather day. Great to be back on the water. #kayaking #RhodeIsland #weather
Thinking of Summer, on this Winter-like day in Spring. Perfect weather for a Nutty Irishman. Cheers! #RhodeIsland #Spring #fireplace #delslemonade
Noooooooo! The Great Pyramid of Pawtucket is being dismantled. #RhodeIsland #localhistory
The blue sky after the snow storm is really beautiful. #winter #weather #RhodeIsland
Good morning snowy Rhode Island! Beautiful out there. My compliments to our DPW who have been out all night keeping our roads safe. #snow #RhodeIsland
Today was day 800 in a row walking together. The wind made it a bit more challenging, but we'll keep this streak going as long as we can. #healthyhabits #mentalhealth #walking (Note, to count as a walk, we have to do at least 1 mile. Most days are 2-3+)
