The Populist goes east.

For a visit to Andy and Kristin on the east coast, I loaded The original Populist.

When I got up the first thing I found was a message from JetBlue that our flight would be delayed. "Please arrive at the airport in time for your original flight because we're working hard to fix this." When our original time to leave came, they were still listing the same delay and the airplane was on it's way from Bermuda to Boston, from whence it would come here. We decided to go anyway. Better than rushing and worrying that a traffic jam in Milwaukee was going to make us late or they were going to pull off a miracle and we'd really have to rush.

Riding the shuttle from the Saver Lot.

Sunbeams in the main lobby.

Even after having lunch, we had plenty of time waiting at the gate.

The airplane got here exactly as late as they predicted.

Andy and Kristin went running, leaving Greyson with us. It was the first time ever out of his crate as they left on foot. He remained vigilant watching for their return.

Now he can relax.

A boy and his dog.

Most of their garden is gone, but there's still a few vegetables ripening.

Aubergines.

A red bell pepper and, validating TV chef Bobby Flay's opinion of green peppers, a few unripe ones.

A hopeful just starting to develop.

It was nice weather but not really warm enough to hang out under the gazebo.

Lunch at The Cottage Bar, on Columbian Square just down the road. It's characterized as an Irish Pub except with the requisite excess of televisions for an American bar.

A wine tasting at Bin Ends in Braintree. No one expressed any privacy concerns this time, but I don't think anyone noticed the camera.

Our major tourist day was at The Breakers in Newport to see what the richest people of their day could muster up for a vacation cottage.

The upper loggia was the only place on the tour that was bright enough and had benches to set the tripod on.

Just out side the gift shop exit, a nice patio to rest and review your photographs.

Lunch at the cafe in the Welcome Building.

The northeast facade with the kitchen added on as a separate wing. The previous mansion on this site burned to the ground.

The side facing the sea.

I got frustrated on the walk around the great lawn because there was absolutely no place but the ground to put the camera so I braced it against my forehead and tried a hand-held exposure.

The only nod to a formal garden outside the Music Room.

We went for a stroll on the Cliff Walk with views of Easton Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The rocky cliffs for which the walk is named.

The Populist has a .15mm Gilder electron microscope aperture 24mm from a 24x36mm frame. The film is Kodak UltraMax 400 developed in an Arista.edu liquid quart C-41 kit.
