Winter’s passed?

It’s been quite a year!  So much has happened since the summer of ’17, none of which included posting…a music festival, extended-family vacation in Maine, senior photos, my Mom’s unexpected passing, we got a dog, lots of connecting with nature and humans, an excursion to Philly, a family wedding (first

End of the 365…

Or, Who am I kidding? July 8, 2017 As the weather turned warmer and days grew longer, work’s busy season emerged, leaving less time for setting up and editing photos.  It came in fits and starts for a time, but by June, the well had run dry. If not a robust

May 21, 2017 Another long break between posts… since the last, we have celebrated Mothers’ Day and the Boy’s birthday, taken a number of walks through town and across the river, and experienced one rainy day after another and still no photos.  Until today… Another walk around town, though most

February 5, 2017 8289 Superbowl Sunday and a little outside time picking up sticks and killing time before the game.  The leaf in the top image was a lone hanger-onner on the blueberry bushes.  It’s crinkled, torn, and tattered, but still hangs on. From the yard to the game –

January 29, 2017 Hadley, MA 8172 Another mild day for January. Temperatures were in the low 40’s and the sun peeked out every once in a while, making it a great day to get outdoors. We’re fortunate to live so close to such diverse hiking and nature trails – there’s something

January 26, 2017 Hadley, MA 8114 The sun was setting and I was driving past a farm road, so I decided to pull down to see what opportunities there were for making images. While there wasn’t much of interest for landscapes, there were a few patches of field that had
