garlic at lilac ridge

and what would you make with these bold, fresh bulbs?

memorial day in brattleboro

 a lone trumpeter played a medley of melancholy tunes

wild bill gyrated on emerson's loading platform

the town swayed to the spirited melodies of these young musicians

my silence was

the result of a fascinating trip to mars...

lift off was from the roger williams natural history museum in providence, r.i. 

happy birthday, library jewel...

may your day be rich with friends, family, light and love.

and some excellent food, too, of course.

dunes are such fragile homes

ceaselessly redecorated by the wind

ocean city, maryland

the wind bullied the nearly deserted beach

but these two intrepid walkers bundled up and strode the strand.

the ghosts are pleased

to welcome picnicers 

to the long vacant homestead

south of stroudsburg,

pennsylvania

happy birthday,my beloved mr. brattcat

what treasures you have stored

in that brilliant attic of yours

springfield, massachusetts

one bright shining ball

suspended in an endless blue sky.

naismith museum, basketball hall of fame

the cat's on the prowl

and won't be back for a couple of weeks.

take care, all.

a day in the life of brattleboro--parting shot

i'll end this series 

with a view of the iconic creamery bridge.

not her most flattering photo but the best i could manage on that sullen april afternoon.

a day in the life of brattleboro--so much depends upon a red wheelbarrow

under a solemn sky

beside the yellow daffodils.

a day in the life of brattleboro--would not be complete without a trip to the grocery store

i've brought local apples for each of you.

 they've been over-wintering in the cool dark and have just emerged for your eating pleasure.

enjoy!

a day in the life of brattleboro--allard's sawmill

on old ferry road.

i watched, mesmerized, as bark was peeled from trees

and sawdust piled up in fragrant hills.

theme day--the creative artisan
