Ice Storm and Power Outage – Day Six

Posted on by

Today is day six of the ice-storm power-outage in New England.  Utility crews have been working around the clock to get service restored to homes all over New England.  Those of us in more remote areas are still without power, and more snow and ice are on the way.

The destruction is unbelievable .  Trees have been uprooted, snapped off, and stripped of limbs.  As you can imagine, the power lines and poles beneath these broken trees have suffered enormously.  I will post more photos later… but here is a start:

October wanderings around the valley

Posted on by

Things change quickly in autumn, and I spend a lot of time looking at this time of year. Soon the long season of winter will send me back inside the studio full time. Now is the time to wander; hiking and kayaking areas close to home and around the valley, taking in the landscape and its daily changes.

October 22nd: Twilight visit to a lonely cemetery in Guilford, Vermont.

 

 

 

October 16th: The weather was cool and sunny, a perfect day for exploring new areas in and around the Quabbin watershed and the Swift River Valley, Massachusetts.
