Junk from Long Ago

Another walk around the old brickyard. Some thrown out artifacts from years ago.

 

Mink Brook in the Spring?

Stopped by a favorite spot of mine on the way home from work. This is the Mink Brook along Ruddsboro Road at the “S” turns. This is the day before we got more snow, but the snow is still deep in the shade. Pictures 1, 2, and 4 were taken with 80-200mm lens f/22. Shot 3 is a multiple exposure shot with 10-24mm wide angle.

Mascoma Falls Abstract

Finally, some warmer weather. I had to use my camera after work and went to my favorite spot; the dam behind the outdoor pool. All shots were taken with Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 lens.

Making our First Planet

After seeing something on-line about using a scanner to make far away galaxies. Brent (my 5 yr. old) and I gave it a try. Here is our second attempt using a little cream, food coloring, a clear bowl, some rock salt and paprika. We were able to make our first planet with an asteroid belt (which is also edible!). We followed this up with an episode of the original Star Trek.

Looking for My Glove

Brent and I went for a walk the other day with our cameras looking for my lost glove. Guess who found it?

While we were there we decided to look around a bit. Below are some more ice shots and an inside shot of an abandoned cottage on the point.

Winter is Hanging On

Here it is a week into spring and we are still having 8 degree mornings… Took a stroll along the rail trail near the Shaker Bridge and took these shots of the ice formations along the rocks where the trail cuts through the hill. The Mascoma Lake still looks like a frozen desert. I need to stay positive, warm weather will be here soon.
