It’s been a very mild winter on the CT shore, and now there’s been a week of 70 degree days. But it still seems like an act of faith – these blossoms showing up for the first day of Spring.

Moonrise, Old Lyme, CT

The full moon in June, also known as the Rose Moon (Colonial American), Lotus Moon (Chinese), Green Corn Moon (American Cherokee Indian), and my favorite, the Moon of Horses (Celtic), rises out over the Atlantic Ocean.  The lights on the horizon line are ships moving in a southeasterly direction, left to right across the photo.

A quick visit to a perennial flower garden with camera,  tripod and a good macro lens can easily turn into an hourlong reverie.  On this early evening,  hummingbirds were visiting.

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.

The prospects for the team in orange did not seem particularly improved with their new pitcher. The ball can be seen heading toward the fence, in a line directly above the coach behind the mound. The catcher was probably glad the game eventually ended.
