Western Massachusetts
Here are some pics from a short vacation in Western Massachuestts - the B & B where we stayed, and some scenes from a fiber farm. I particularly like the morning light on the breakfast table.

Midwest Landscapes
There's something very restful about Midwest landscapes. They're so unpretentious; just acres and acres of rolling fields under the sweep of rolling clouds. A few trees on the horizon. A red barn here and there to break up the monotony. Nothing to cause the viewer any anxiety.

A Sunny Day (finally!)
At last, a sunny day! A day like this calls for a walk through the Audubon sanctuary. Let's hope this is the start of a trend!
The big snapping turtle was still there, he hasn't moved from the spot where I photographed him last month, wrinkled snout poking into the air. Some of the other visitors were expressing uncertainty as to whether he was really a turtle, or something else ("... an alligator? A dinosaur?"). I didn't bother photographing him again, because it would have just been the same photo on a different day.
