There’s enough farm and forest land where I live to support flocks like these.  A couple times a year, you’ll get to stop or slow down for them as they cross some secondary road.

This porcine beauty (a Vietnamese Pot Belly pig), became the centerfold of a book that I created for a gentleman farmer friend a few years ago.  Four weekends of photography, in VT, at the height of each of the four seasons -a great gig.

We don’t see too many cats out of doors around where I live, as there’s an active coyote population about.  On the North Hill property, though, a couple of house cats roam freely.  John, one of the gardeners, does recount the time, however, when Achilles (shown above) came back to the house pretty freaked out, and wouldn’t go back out for a couple of days.  We wondered if he had met up with a Fisher cat, or perhaps even coyotes.

At this time of the year, glimpses of spring:  the quality and strength of the light, disappearing snow on south facing slopes, perhaps a greater degree of leisure in the farm animals.  Curious in this image that the sugar shack is not fired up.

Amy and her husband bought a house in Wardsboro in 1963;  three of the kitchen doors, it turns out, were decorated by Feodor Rojankovsky sometime in the 1930’s.  She tells the story in the May/June, 2008 issue of Vermont magazine.

Over 70 years ago, the famous artist and illustrator of children’s books decorated the kitchen doors of a Wardsboro home where he was often a guest.  See above post.
