See post below.  I thought that image was the embodiment of simplicity, until this scene came along.  It works best for me, though, pushed to its photographic limit, as above.

Margaret, one of the owners of this classic New England cottage, said that she and her dad would often have their breakfast on this part of the porch, after their morning swim.  It has been in her family since her grandparents purchased it in 1928.

Walking though this stand of pines, located on the pond’s west side, is like being in a cathedral.  Very late winter, before the crowds, is a wonderful time to appreciate its quiet majesty.

This little garage in the middle of nowhere seems most photogenic in the early evening of late winter.  I took about 10-12 shots, from different angles/distances, and printed up a few of them for the owners. This one seemed to be their favorite.

Initially, this meditation on time and change did not hold much appeal for me, as it just felt too … messy.  A number of friends, though, loved it at first sight, and that brought me back around.

Penguin Plunge 1, Madison, CT

February 13, 2011

Fifteen minutes before the actual “Penguin Plunge”, where these guys and 150+ others will jump into a 34 degree F. ocean, all to benefit the Special Olympics.  Theirs was the most boisterous preparation by far.

Penguin Plunge 3, Madison, CT

February 13, 2011

Pretty tough gig – it was 30 degrees F – the crowd thinned out quickly after the “plunge”, despite great versions of Neil Young’s “Rockin in the Free World” and NRBQ’s “Riding in My Car”
