Pump House on the lake shore - Canon 7D MII | EF 135MM F2L
For Father’s Day Weekend, we spent a couple days in Burlington Vermont for a soccer tournament. We stayed downtown at the Marriott Courtyard, which was convenient for getting out-and-about to take some photos when we were not at the soccer field. I managed to walk just short of 10 miles while out taking pics; visiting Church Street, the lake shore, and the University of Vermont during the weekend.

Eastern Cottontail - Canon 7D Mark II
There are a number of Eastern Cottontails that have taken up residence on our property. The rabbits mostly are harmless with the exception of the early-summer vegetable garden, which we have fenced off this Spring. The bunnies also attract the hawks and owls periodically, who do a decent job of keeping the bunny population in control.

As the second week of 2019 began I had the good fortune to attend the AIAA SciTech conference in San Diego, California. A fantastic week of speakers, panel talks, technical sessions, and meeting and greeting new associates. I always enjoy this week because in addition to meeting new people and learning, it is a chance to catch up with old friends and associates and it is a great time to think about the year ahead and all that I want to accomplish. New this year (for me and the team) was our own booth in the Exhibit Hall (see my LinkedIn article for more details and a great photo of colleagues here and here ).
