Sunset Season

Deva and Buddha...

Daffies redux...

I can't quite stay away from the daffodils. Today was another gorgeous Spring day in Vermont. The late afternoon sun gave me another chance at the photo I took yesterday morning...

Fresh New Day...

The first Daffodils...

Welcome to Lyme, NH...

Our first flowering Crocus!

The Early Bird...

Spring Frog

Meg shot this very groggy spring frog a couple days ago. He seemed to be having trouble waking up after a long winter...

Portrait of Deva.

I finally got Deva to sit for a portrait the other day...

Good Friends

I had dinner tonight with my good friend Mark down in Concord at our traditional haunt, Hermanos. I realized as I was headed there this evening that we never even discussed where we were meeting; it was common knowledge. It's great to have habits and friends like that.

Little Gray...

We found this fellow enjoying some seeds this morning. He's the junior member of our contingent of gray squirrels...

Foggy Morning...

I don't know why, but I'm sucker for these foggy mornings and the effect it has on our still bare trees reaching for nourishment from the sun.

Bat Cat...

I caught Nina poking her head through the banister rungs yesterday. She seemed surprised to see me...

Brrrr...

I snapped this shot of a couple Canada geese in the Connecticut River this morning. It was cold - about 10 degrees - and the air was filled with the slow grinding sound of ice sheets rubbing against each other.

Pileated Woodpecker

We had a visit from a Pileated Woodpecker today. It settled into our favorite old maple and went to work...

It worked hard enough to put a *big* hole in our favorite old tree. Let me just go ahead and stick my entire torso in here...













Like *this* big.
















And I couldn't imagine more wood chips on the ground had a chain saw gone to work on our tree. Absolutely amazing!

Mud Season...

Snapped this at the end of the driveway this morning. Some way to start Spring...

Happy Birthday Patrick.

Blue Sky!

We were overdue for this today...

More Snow?

Meg snapped this shot of our front path, burrowing through the snow to our front door...
