Northfield Sky & Barn
About as Vermont Lifey as I get. But I couldn’t resist. Of course, the state has seen fit to kill off the withering Vermont Life. RIP.
Daughter, Mother
Ran into these two in Harrisonburg, Virginia, having breakfast at The Little Grill Collective. I’ve heard it said that a window is the same thing as a big softbox (a piece of photography equipment that […]
Good Day in the Mountains
Beautiful winter day in the mountains yesterday: sun and cold, new snow. That’s Camel’s Hump with Mt. Mansfield sticking up behind it in the top photo, as seen from Sugarbush North. Others are both from […]
Greetings from the Season
Holiday greetings from the frozen north. For the first time in a few years we’ll have an authentic northern New England white Christmas. It did rain on top of the whiteness most of today but […]

Sky Sail
Over Long Beach, NY, a beach town on a barrier island just off the south shore of Long Island, not too far from JFK airport. Part one of the year-end image clearance. Like it on the […]
Renaissance Portraits
I was back in New York last week, so I’ll have a bunch of urban posts over the next few days — from Fifth Avenue in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, above, to […]
XC TG
Skiing arrived early enough this year for a Thanksgiving run at the Morse Farm Ski Touring Center, East Montpelier, VT. Fine form for early in the season too.
Early Snow
We didn’t get all the snow that places a bit farther south did last night, but we got enough to get everyone’s attention and bring us all a half-step closer to winter, ready or not. […]
Cow Share
Home Share Now matches home seekers with people who have room to share in their homes. But what happens if the home seeker has some beef cattle that also need a home? After a thorough […]
