On a quick trip to VT this past weekend, I was struck with the many patches of wild lupines growing on the roadsides. They remind me of the black-eyed susans and daisies that will soon follow in these places, but less egalitarian and more patrician in their bearing. The meadows were also a sight to behold; the grasses are spring green and knee high, and waving with the winds. Summer beckons!

Taken over a quarter of a century ago, on slide film. Steve (third from left) and Laurie lived in a shack right on that stream in the background, and welcomed many a soul there for some serious R and R.

There are a number of photographs in the Vermont Exit Ramps book that translated well into print, but this one – across two pages – was particularly striking. Taken at the St. Johnsbury Farmers’ Market.

There’s been many a cover of Pete Seeger’s classic 1955 song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone”- a call for peace that’s been recorded in over 30 languages – but perhaps the finest was the first, by the Kingston Trio here. Then of course a version by the man himself here, from a 1968 concert in Sweden.

Probably taken on Ektachrome film, in the Whipple Hollow section of town when I was 18 years old. This is one image that has stood the test of time for me; I’ve thought of it often over the years. I also thought it lost – forever consigned to memory – until it showed up in the archives one day this past winter. It remains compelling, and certainly equal to what I remembered (which is not always the case).

Really, these boats were part of a local estate sale!! This just happened to be Part I – only the outdoor stuff. The man who lived here seemed quite adept at building and fixing things, as evidenced by the tools available, some of the comments overheard about those tools, and all the items for sale (including a tent load of outboard motors, perhaps ten of them, all lined up as in a retail display). “He’s down in Georgia now” was about the only bit of personal info I picked up from one of the estate sales guys.
