The chief cook and bottle washer.

Always make a pie first. It looks good!

We went to visit our friend Phil at his farm in Vermont. Here's the house -

A recent trip to Reid State Park ...

A nice bench on which to sit and watch the world turn.

The view

 There were waves and crazy people.

A recent trip to Camden Hills state park. A couple of gray-day views from Bald mountain.

Yours truly atop Bald Mountain.

These little creatures got to run free ...

An interesting find at a 'harvest festival' - a cello orchestra! I think the lady at the back right, who looks like there's a pole growing out of her hat, is Amy LeBlanc of Whitehill Farm in East Wilton. I think she's the orchestra's leader. She grows the most fantastic heirloom vegetables & has had a lot of blue ribbons at the fair (see next photos). Prize peppers. Not the best photos, but a visual feast nonetheless. Not sure how that apple got in there ...

Kayaking last weekend off of Simpson's point. It was a bit breezy, but not too choppy. Most of the photos I took while out in open water weren't very good, due to wave-wobble and sea spray, but here are a few. This first is entering a sheltered cove where we found respite from the wind for a few minutes.

My paddle-mates. The put-in is between them on the far shore. This island looked to me a bit like a listing schooner. A little cliff. The geology of the Maine coast is visually interesting, although I can't say I know a whole lot about it.

Here are some photos I took Monday at Maquoit Bay. It was low tide.

Why is a canoe just sitting there in the mud? It's waiting for its clammer. Note the plastic sled!

Apple trees. They'll look quite different in a couple of weeks.

 

Here are some photos from a recent kayaking expedition to Runaround Pond in Pownal. We saw painted turtles & plenty of interesting birds and heard peepers and wood frogs. And no humans but us. It was serene.

I love the upside-down view ... Here's an osprey eating a fish. And my travelling partners.

I was riding my bike yesterday & this man was plowing the lower CSF field with his team of horses.

This is Sewall Pond, on route 127 in Arrowsic. A vast sheet of perfect ice!

Yes, that is an iceboat in the distance. It was nearly flying it was moving so fast. And this is an icebike. Studded tires make it possible ... This fellow is drilling holes for ice fishing. Here are the icefishermen (boys) checking for fish. I guess this isn't what they were after ... it was frozen into the ice ... from a previous expedition, I suppose.
