The year 1981, the Raiders won the Superbowl, the Boston Celtics were the NBA Champion and I graduated Kolbe Cathedral High school. Well…..I did not march in the ceremony due some chocolate incident. Needless to say it has been 31 years since I left Bridgeport CT without looking back. I passed by to NY, MD but never visited.
I had the great pleasure this past weekend to revisit, there was a Beach Picnic Class Reunion. It was the beach, I could not pass that up, I have a love affair with the ocean, river or lake.
I had not seen any of my class mates over 30 yrs, and I was excited and nervous. I was the quiet one, always in the back and never got involved in much. I was a transfer student from Jamaica in 1979 and it took while for me to get adjusted. By the time I was getting up to speed it was graduation.

A Walk along Vandenberg Esplanade, “The Boulevard”.
This was not planned ahead. My daughter found out at midnight she had to work early this morning. Hmm, I have to go along the boulevard to drop her off at work, I will take my camera, walk, then relax.
Nothing like an early morning stroll, not many people, and I can be alone with my thoughts.
Well there were a few people, still it was very relaxing!

Wamesit Falls Overlook
This location was my second trip for the morning. I love this place, when I got home and showed the images to my son, his comment,” I had no idea this is in Lowell”. Take a ride down Lawrence Street in South Lowell park, walk around a bit and enjoy the view.

My Dunkins Trip
So I took a trip to Dunkin Donuts to have my daily indulgence, large hot-chocolate with half french vanilla coffee, cream & sugar with corn or honey bran muffin. Living in Lowell I have a choice of several Dunkins but two of my favs is Rogers Street and the fairly new location at Dutton St. Today it was Dutton Street, placed my order then pulled around to the parking area and got out with my camera. It is truly a lovely location, the landscaping is improving daily and the backdrop of the canal makes it inviting. Now if only those bulky utility truck could be elsewhere!

Snapping in Dracut, MA
Yes, I was at it again today. I wanted to get a few sunset, water shots, but I was a bit late. I still did what I could, this location is behind the Dracut Sewer Company. I was also fortunate to get a grandpa and grandson fishing.
