Photography & Life in New England

We took a ride out to the Quabbin today via Route 32A … Parked at gate 40 and walked quite a ways in.

  It was a nice peaceful walk but the horseflies and the mosquitos were not very kind. Rob found a tick on his back the next day. Definately will be more careful next time. Bug spray will be used, also. We jogged off and on back to the car just to get away from the bugs! The exercise felt refreshing since we haven’t done so all winter and spring. It inspired me to start doing more exercise! 

At the beginning of the walk there were rare protected wildflowers along the brush…Lady Slippers!

As we walked further,  we saw the old Apple Orchard we read about.

Well, I must say I am having the time of my life with our new MacBook Pro!! I do have to clarify the title of this entry though…I am addicted and do love the Mac operating system now but I will not use the Mac exclusively. I still have a place in my heart for the PC and Windows….it’s been many years and we have a desktop Dell that performs well for us. 

I am typing this blog entry right from the Macbook and using a Mac freeware/donationware program called Journler which is excellent for blog entries and for personal diary type use. This software is worth checking out for all you bloggers out there! Sorry, I am new to blogs and I am unsure if that is what someone would be called who is a blog user…blogger ?? 

Anyways, just from the active research done on Mac software while waiting for this wonderful machine :)…I found quite a few cool programs for the Mac for all of you new users as well as veteran users. I will update some more as I try them.
