February 20, 2017 8463 Presidents’ Day – the day we observe the anniversary of George Washington’s birth is a holiday, which means a day off of work. It happens to have been exceptionally warm for late February, which was encouraging of an afternoon walking around our neighbor city – Northampton,
February 13, 2017 8419 Another six or seven inches of snow yesterday meant another day off work today. It warmed up a bit and the sun came out, which made cleanup a bit easier and also produced icicles. While out clearing drifted snow from the driveway in late afternoon, I noticed
February 11, 2017 8373 It’s Saturday and I went into work for a few hours – with all the snow and yesterday’s events, there was quite a bit of out-of-office time this week. E also had to work, so it wasn’t until mid-afternoon that we realized we ran out of heating

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
January 21, 2017 Holyoke, MA 7980 Temperatures climbed into the 50’s today, so “E” and I headed to Ashley Reservoir for a walk. It felt more like March, though the ice on the reservoir served as a reminder that it isn’t. This view between the trees caught my eye both
