CONCRETE OR ADOBE IN B & W
CBWC: Any kind of structure using concrete or adobe There aren’t a lot of buildings like that locally. Brick or wood, generally for almost everything. But there are some in Worcester and I did take some pictures there, albeit quite a… Read More ›
HALF OF ANYTHING
CBWC: Half of Anything I took this first picture this morning while the coffee was brewing. I had forgotten that this challenge was waiting. Some part of my brain must have remembered because I decided this needed to be done in… Read More ›

PATHS AND SIDEWALKS
CBWC: Places to walk or hIke From downtown Boston to the mountains in Vermont, there are sidewalks and paths and they are waiting for your feet to come tread upon them. Wear comfortable shoes!
