Hi I’m Wayne. Welcome to my blog.
I am a true New Englander through and through. I love everything about New England. I especially love discovering new places in New England and sharing my experiences with everyone.
I tend to focus on the more unique and lesser known places and things in New England on my blog. Oh yeah, and I love dogs. I always try to include at least one dog in each of my blog posts. I discovered my love of photography a couple of years ago. I know, I got a late start.
I photograph anything that seems out of the ordinary, interesting, beautiful and/or unique. I have also noticed how every person, place or thing I photograph has a story behind it or him or her. I don’t just photograph things or people or animals. I try to get their background, history or as much information as possible to give the subject more context and meaning. It’s interesting how one simple photograph can evoke so much.
I am currently using a Nikon D3200 “beginner’s camera.” Even though there are better cameras on the market, and I will upgrade some time, I love how it functions (usually) and it has served me well.
The great thing about my blog is you don’t have to be from New England, or even like New England to like my blog (although I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t). All you have to like is to see and read about new or interesting places and things.
Hopefully, you’ll join me on my many adventures in New England!

Thank you! I do think it’s very important to be respectful of the victims of the witch trials and their descendants. There is a tendency for some to make light of it, like some of the trinkets and souvenirs that bear some tasteless phrases on them.

Thank you Elouise. I have always enjoyed writing since high school but I really got into photography this year and I am a huge animal lover so I figured I would incorporate the two. I got into traveling to all of the places in New England after my dad passed. I thought it would be a good way to take trips locally with my mom since she was kind of lonely. When I am in her area (western Mass) we do a lot of traveling and we have a lot of fun together. Thank you for reading and for showing such an interest in my blog!
