Small Road Trip - Central Mass - Pix!

Just a few pix from a small road trip.

Pond overflow in Brimfield State Park



Expensive picture frame
(Where's Waldo?)



Water wheel in Holden, Mass



Nice road



Field of wildflowers looked like a good place to shoot pix but couldn't capture the effect
Maybe should have pulled back farther, right into them - opinions?





The wife is going to leave if I don't put some effort into the house



She hates where I park my bike too



I've been following the directions in a book called:
"The Most Scenic Roads In Massachusetts" by John Gibson. (75% off @ Down East)

I tried 2 of his 20 routes and like them so far.
I had already been down/up some of the roads he used but not all of them.
I looked over some of the other routes and like his choices.
I'd recommend it to anyone that wanted to try a few scenic drives in Mass.
His NH & Maine books are on their way to me via USPS.

He's a sore guy.

How did they fill the olympic swimming pool in 1972?
Mark Spitz

His cousin Dick lives in Holden but I stay as far away from him as possible.
