Went to Stepstone Falls this morning. What a crappy morning to force myself out of bed (pouring rain). But I checked the radar and it looked like it should clear so I headed out anyway. Sat in the car for an hour reading Outdoor Photographer (mail was still in the car) and the rain stopped […]

Made it out to Gooseberry again this past weekend. It was nice to get out of the woods literally, but the sunrise was a blow-out/bluebird so it actually would have been a better stream/waterfall morning, but you can’t win them all. There was a ton of weed there this trip and hardly any wind so […]

Well my parents are finally home from Antigua for the winter! That meant Elias and I got to go down to the boat Wednesday night so Elias could see them (they called a half an hour from the dock during tub time). We all then went down the next night so Mom and Dad could […]

Andy and I trekked up to Purgatory Falls up in NH on Saturday. This was another 2am start, which is painful, but ultimately worth it. The mosquitoes were also the size of humming birds up here, but in the end I think I brought home some worthwhile images. We spent most of the morning at the lower […]

Well this week was quite interesting… Isabella had a fever Tuesday morning. Nikki called the pediatrician and took her in. They really couldn’t find anything obviously wrong with her so it was officially a fever of unexplained origins… At her age (<2 month, just, she’s now over 2 months!) that meant a trip to Hasbro […]

Made it out to Enders Falls Sunday AM with Andy and Dave. Spring sunrises there are both beautiful and torture at the same time. The beauty is in the amount of water with everything turning green and cleaning itself up. The torture is that this is over 2 hours from my house and spring sunrises […]

Another great week with both kids. Isabella is 8 weeks old today. She just keeps getting bigger and bigger and is still a great baby! Elias is asking more and more questions. Every where we go he asks why and which way etc. We had a pretty slow weekend this weekend, Elias and I did […]

Not a whole heck of a lot to report this week, and that’s a good thing! Isabella is getting big and is still VERY relaxed. She’s smiling more and more which is adorable. We’ve all been enjoying her, including Elias. He’s doing well but is VERY talkative and questions EVERYTHING these days. Most of the […]

Got out to Hazard again this weekend. The weather was tricky and was actually raining this morning, but it was SUPER clear Friday night, so I gambled and went for Sunday knowing it could be washed out… Saturday’s sunrise didn’t look too amazing from the house, and the overcast/clouds made for some decent shots, so […]

Made it out to Newton Saturday morning. The weathermen sure aren't accurate lately as they forecast for rain from 5pm Friday though Saturday until Sunday at 5am… Well, it didn't rain until after dark Saturday night, and all of Saturday to that point was beautiful! It was nice to get down to Newton again as […]

Another funfilled week for us at the Jacobsen house. The gang (Nikki, Elias, Isabella and Debbie) came up to the zoo during the week. I was able to meet them for lunch which was awesome (and explains all the iPhone zoo pics). We have season passes and this year we have a different kind where […]

^ that’s a video, click play and enjoy. Also click the resolution button bottom right to get the 720p HD goodness. 🙂 I’ve been using a thinktank retro 10 as my main shoulder bag since they came out (May 2010) and an urban disguise before that. It’s a fantastic shoulder bag. As soon as ThinkTank […]

Well, after a month off to enjoy my new Daughter Isabella (I didn’t landscape once during April, but I hit up all the weekend through March) I finally made it out again this past weekend for the first weekend in May. It was great to get out again, even if it was completely bluebird w/o […]

I can’t believe it, but Isabella’s a month only already? And actually, but the time you read this a full 5 weeks as well. Time flies, especially with two kids in the house. Not much to report this week. She had a checkup and is doing very well, she’s 10lb 15oz and 22.75″ long already. […]
