We’ve had a thaw here on the coast, the “polar vortex” has moved through and on this morning – a few hours of springtime.

This one is perhaps best viewed from a distance, with a softened gaze; what emerges is the forest and not so much the trees.

No longer summer, not yet winter. This late fall shot brings to mind that great John Hiatt tune, Slow Turning (chorus below and a link to a performance from the David Letterman show here, Sonny Landreth is on slide).
“It’s been a slow turning, from the inside out,
a slow turning, baby, but you come about,
slow learning, but you learn to sway,
a slow turning, baby, not fade away.”

First Marble Quarry
Oldest Quarry in U.S., 1785
Here, near Mt Aelous, Issac Underhill opened the first marble quarry in 1785. Dorset quarries were most active in the early 1800’s when small slabs were used for hearths, doorsills and headstones. With better transportation and saws, larger blocks were quarried. **

Come the summer, this place is a popular swimming hole for locals and tourists alike. Definitely some bragging rights for anyone who braves the deep water by the end of May.
