4.27 A walk in the woods


Woke up this morning to hear that the Greens and the Whites got up to a foot of snow in the last 24 hours. It's spitting snow here in the valley. I'm holding tight to Spring. They say it will be 80 degrees again Saturday. The forests are greening up and coming back to life quickly.

4.22 Sunset hour

Out and about in Canterbury tonight - Riley Bog, wildflowers and sunset off Old Shaker Road. Thunderstorms all around making for a cool breeze and dramatic skys. The blackflies have hatched, but aren't biting yet (much). Every day or two a new wildflower or tree is blooming. Nice evening.

Sunday, April 11


Glorious Spring is here. With our odd warm winter, I've been talking about early spring and the arrival of spring for more than a month — but now Serious Spring is here. Glorious, crazy, neon spring. The wild color of neon spring only lasts a couple weeks and I have a hard time being inside for any of it. When I was a kid I'd roll around on the floor at night hugging myself waiting for morning. I love this time of year! I'd intended to hike out to some of the remote Shaker ponds on Saturday, but got stuck shooting in the Village in the bluebird light. Beauty is all around us. Just see it.
