"Big Mac" Bridge
Through the ironwork of the Purple People Bridge, this 1983 suspension bridge, which carries I-471 across the Ohio is actually named the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge. The origin of the popular moniker, the "Big Mac" Bridge should be obvious.

Ducks Rush In Where Humans Fear to Tread - Swimming in the Ohio River
As one who drank more of the Ohio than the Health Department would normally allow while "tubing" behind a Sea Ray with a sadistic, hot-shot captain, I would not recommend humans or ducks take the plunge. While the Ohio may be fit for swimming somewhere along its length, Cincinnati is not one of those "safe to swim" spots.

Dinner Roses
I recently stumbled across some wild roses growing outside a local restaurant. I was taken with the simplistic beauty that nature had created for anyone who wanted to "stop and smell the roses." I stopped, smelled and additonally photographed. I hope you enjoy these pre-dinneer roses.

Dinner Roses
I did not notice the extra visitor in this picture until I put it onto my computer. I guess this rose is not only a pre-dinner rose for my enjoyment, but also an actual dinner rose for a friendly bee.

Massachusetts State House Dome
My recent trip to Boston did not provide all the "photo ops." I had hoped for. However, here are a few random shots in and about Boston against a backdrop of the Massachusetts State House Dome.

Park Street Church Steeple
Like so many of the historic buildings in Boston, modern society has encroched on the historic. It was sad that the surrounds of the historic sites was made up of masses of glass and steel. To me it detracted from the beauty and significnce of what I was seeing. Such is life. This church sits on the corner of Tremont Street, just across the from the Boston Commons and a block away from the State House.

On Boston Commons
Being just across the street from the State House, I wondered if this depicted a political statement -- something like "The Law and the Legislature." Think about it.
