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.

The crops are in now, the growing season in full swing. Here, in the middle of a remarkably hot spell of early June weather, a soft morning light.

The meadows are now about 3 feet high in this part of the world, and farmers are starting to mow. In another barn on this property, the hay bales are already stacked up to the roof.

This is the interior of the same barn shown above. The contrast is striking; in the summer, the inside of these places can be as dark and moody as the outsides are light and breezy. My lifelong love affair with barns began with a huge, deserted four story structure, a myth really, that was a couple hundred yards from where I grew up.

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.

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.

I may have to ask the farmer who owns this land, Bub Hubner, if he ever considered painting a high water mark on the side of the barn. It would be a new measure, I suppose, indicative of both the snow accumulation and the speed of the snowplow.
