Got back to photographing food at my little inside studio. Don’t have the recipes but as I did, you can pretty much cook up something very similar. For a sauce, I used some almond milk, sour cream and tahini sauce. I cooked up the pasta and then added shrimp, then salmon, then chicken.

Back In Utah for now.

My two-months long trip has ended and it was great seeing family and friends and the places I grew up in on the East Coast. Plus, I visited 4 more states I hadn’t been to before. I have two left, Alaska and Florida.

And ………….

And I also:

Visited 12 National Park locations.

Visited a good friend at the home office of The National Park Service, just a few blocks from The White House.

Travelled some 8,461 miles. Much more than I anticipated. I had to get my vehicle its scheduled maintenance when in Pennsylvania.

I travelled through 23 states plus D.C., some more than once. This included 4 states in about 4 hours time. See if you can guess them.

I travelled on two separate subway systems plus a ferry.

I took 2060 photos with my iPhone.

I snapped 2,346 photos with my Canon DSLR

I directed 86 videos of various lengths

I gained 10 pounds but it was worth it! I ate lobster, Mexican, Thai, Italian, NYC grub, New England Clam Chowder and a glorious Thanksgiving Day dinner at my sisters in Ohio.

Who knows where my next adventures will take me but it’s time to hit the gym and lose that 10 pounds!

Here’s a few more memorable photos that I didn’t include in my blog posts.

Can’t find canolis like this one out west.

Orangutanging around at National Zoo, DC

Bridge in Maine

This skeleton had it made in Connecticut.

Italian restaurant in DC, like a scene out of “The Godfather”

Pigeons not allowed on DC Metro subway

Embedded in the floor at the visitor center is a satellite image of St Croix National Scenic Riverway which divides Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Halls of the Department of the Interior Building in DC

The town of Duck,North Carolina is home to Duck Donuts. They make these to order. Took about 10 minutes.

Probably why I only spent 2 hours in Vermont.

This Yellow Brick Road was in Wisconsin, not Kansas.

You can get just about anything at this Colorado store.

It was sublime along a secluded beach at Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina.

An iconic covered bridge in PA

This road in Pennsylvania is straight, didn’t need to steer.

Nice of this combine in South Dakota to give me some room. It was harvest time so they really had the right of way.

Back to the snow-covered Rockies

A ubiquitous Wall Drug sign along I-90 in South Dakota.

Cheap gas in Kansas City.

Nothing like a home-cooked meal for Thanksgiving.

A Day In NYC

City Images, Seasons

Actually it was about 6 hours which clearly wasn’t enough but the visit brought back some memories after 40 years being away.

Fall colors have arrived to New York’s Central Park and the city skyline.

I took the Staten Island Ferry into Manhattan which was one way we entered the city when I was a kid.

The subway hasn’t changed.

Forgot to bring my dogs.

The Guggenheim stands out.

Every kind of food vendor was present.

The steps to The Met.

5th and 57th

5th Avenue Sidewalk adjacent to Central Park.

This soft pretzel was a bit stale. Probably a leftover from when I was a kid.

The tall building on left is now called One World Trade Center, formerly the Freedom Tower.

Steinway Towers Is Just 57 Feet Wide, Making It World’s Skinniest Skyscraper. It’s the tall tower in the first photo of this post.

Statue of Liberty Is tall but not so skinny.

World War One Statue.

Verrazano Narrows Bridge

Trashy…….

Heading Back.

Food

When you run out of beef, chicken or fish, (Or you’re a vegetarian) check your produce drawer for any or all of your veggies. Spread on some Hummus and your doctor will be happy!
