The blog I follow – Denzil Nature – has a moon photo challenge up this week. I’m sharing some of my favorite moon shots. I don’t take photos of “just” the moon but of the moon in the landscape. I hope that qualifies! The… Continue Reading “Moon – Nature Photo Challenge”
The Tunbridge World’s Fair has been an annual Vermont tradition since 1867 with the exception of only a few years during that time when the fair was cancelled due to both World War’s and the 2020 pandemic. When my two sons were in elementary… Continue Reading “151st Tunbridge World’s Fair”

My clematis vine has stopped blooming for the season but I had captured some blossoms last month when it was in full flower. It thrives in a corner of my garden even though it is seriously neglected by me!
It was another soggy morning here in Vermont but that’s okay. It gives me the opportunity to photograph raindrops on my flowers! I’ve been able to keep the Japanese beetles at bay for now. For some reason, they love the white Lavatera flowers and… Continue Reading “Lavatera after the Rain”
