   May, 2012: New old photo (old new photo?): A day at the beach for the University of Pennsylvania Psychology graduate students. 

I took this photograph in the summer of 1967, during a day at the New Jersey shore (probably Margate or Ventnor, maybe Brigantine). 

Camera: 2 1/4" sq twin-lens reflex (a real antique)

Special Feature: Lifecycle of the Monarch Butterfly
    The summer of 2006 was unusually good for Monarch butterflies in our back yard. We were able to observe the entire lifecycle, and put together this photo essay for your enjoyment.  		Monarch Butterfly rests in the sunshine after emerging from chrysalis

Our White Mountain (NH) "4,000-footer" series finished in 2006.  The image at the top of this page is from the hike to Carter Dome & Mt Hight in New Hampshire.  Just across rt 16 from Mt. Washington, the view from Mt. Hight, the cloudy day, and the sparse snow provided us with this rare view of (from left of center) Mts. Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison, along with Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines. See a larger image.  As always, visitors are welcome on these free, expertly guided events.
