CAPTIVATING AND ALSO, THE MOTOR VEHICLE BUREAU

Captivating. Adorable. Charming. And then, there's the Motor Vehicle Bureau For me, that would probably mean dogs, cats, birds, horses ... and anything going on in New England in the Autumn. And, okay ... those first few minutes after snow has fallen when the world is hushed and completely white, blanketed in snow so that … Continue reading CAPTIVATING AND ALSO, THE MOTOR VEHICLE BUREAU

GRAY DAY, RAINY MORNING

The last two days were gorgeous. Warm enough for shirtsleeves, but not hot. It was perfect late April weather. Today, the rain has returned. I don't mind rain. It's a gray day with a steady rain falling. After nearly  a decade of drought, having rain a couple of days a week is just fine, thank you. I … Continue reading GRAY DAY, RAINY MORNING

MY DREAM – IN FOG

DREAMING WHILE FOG CLOSES AROUND My mind struggles through the fog. Who is that? I hear voices and recognize them. My mom, her sister (my aunt) Pearl. And associated uncles and ... who else? My cousin Ruthie? I'm dreaming because I do know they have all passed. My mother passed more than 30 years ago, the others … Continue reading MY DREAM – IN FOG

WRAPPED IN MIST ‘TIL THE SUN COMES UP

Enveloped The thick morning fog fills the valleys and envelopes the mountains surrounding Peacham, Vermont. When the sun comes up, the fog will burn away, leaving no trace.

BEFORE SUNRISE – A PHOTO A WEEK CHALLENGE: MUTED COLORS

A Photo a Week Challenge: Muted Colors Color is an important part of photography. Some images work best with over-saturated colors; some work best with no colors (I love good black and white photographs). For this week’s challenge, I found a picture that I really liked, but was over-exposed. When I started working on it, I … Continue reading BEFORE SUNRISE – A PHOTO A WEEK CHALLENGE: MUTED COLORS

MORNING LIGHT

This year has flown past. It's hard to believe it's already November. Elections are over.  The oak trees are slow to shed their leaves, so our woods are still leafy. The final dropping of the oak leaves won't happen until December, sometimes as late as January. Morning is my favorite time of day and when I am most … Continue reading MORNING LIGHT
