On my last trip our schedule changed due to the heavy fog in and around the Charlotte area. With funky weather we can find crew, aircraft and passengers in all sorts of places we do not want them. So, instead of having a 16 hour overnight in Sarasota we had a 22 hour overnight in Burlington, VT. It actually worked out for me. I like Burlington and the weather as rather nice, 51 degrees and a light mist. With camera in hand I walked the area near Church Street, one of my favorites places. You can find a wide range of different people in the mall area and any choice of restaurant you desire. Did some people watching and then treated myself to the mustard-crusted salmon at Sweetwaters. After eating I enjoyed a couple of hours of conversation with a woman named Toni who was visiting the area from Portland, OR. When I returned to my hotel they had freshly baked cookies and milk in the lobby for me. Cookies and milk help make life pretty good!

Ahhh, cookies and milk – wonderful! I really like this shot. Your composition gives us a great view of some of the street life as well as the diner’s window and door.

This was taken on New Years day, so I was surprised to see as many people out as I did. Unfortunately the diner had just closed. I guess breakfast was not happening all day. 🙂 Have a super day!

Oh, man, there’s nothing better than Breakfast all day!
Monte Stevens
Yeah, Chris. That is probably one entrée that can be eaten any time of the day. My kids would probably include cold pizza but I’ll pass on that one 🙂
Steve Skinner
I agree; there is not such thing as a bad cookie!
Monte Stevens
Some are just bigger. 🙂

Lately, you have a habit of sending me to the pantry. Shame!
As usual a special photo of an ordinary scene. Bravo.
Monte Stevens
Yep, my fault. I forced you! 🙂 Maybe if we grabbed an apple instead of a cookie. Nah!

I really like the photo. The neat thing about your blog is that, between your photos and your writing, I feel like I’ve gone where you’ve gone. That’s so cool. Thanks!
Monte Stevens
Good, glad to have you along for the walk. That would make a great post: how we share our images and writing, together.

Breakfast all day – my kind of place!
I like VT – nice place to get stranded for a couple days. Love the picture – it is like being there.
Monte Stevens
We’ll have to have breakfast some time, my friend. Hope to see you guys soon.

Man! You can’t beat that combination at all! Cookies and milk!
Monte Stevens
So, not only are you and I damn handsome men but we like cookies and milk, too.

The way this is composed, it appears the lady is headed to the restaurant, which of course we really don’t know, but there is some connection between the two in this photograph and it helps to bring out her character. We get a real sense of her even though all we see is her back. And yes, for me too, Breakfast all day is my kind of place.
Monte Stevens
Who knows, maybe we can meet for breakfast some day.
