A colony of great egrets has discovered the marsh out behind our neighbor’s house. There’s usually at least one out there all day, and sometimes as many as twenty, two thirds of them juveniles. Initially skittish on approach, they seem to be OK now, particularly with a fence and brush and phragmites between us.

Woke up today to a few inches of snow on the ground – daffodil courtesy of our neighbor Kim and her daughter Kate who planted the bulbs last fall.

A wonderfully strange confluence today of one of the great Holy Days in Christianity as well as one of the most interesting secular “holidays”, Easter Sunday and April Fool’s Day ….

The first – and probably only – draft of a panoramic stitch of four 35mm film images from two decades ago.

I had a thought about heading north to revisit (but first find) this scene and shoot it again with my current digital equipment – but that seems to have passed.

BTW, the rooflines of the barn were really that lopsided (which may mean that it is no longer there). Also, shooting this scene with a 35mm digital might require only one shot – and cropped at that – to match the quality of this entire 35mm film sequence.

Another from the 35mm film archives.

Taken a month ago; at this point, the field may be about chest high.

Beautiful car to be sure, but there are a few other things I might like to do with an extra $80K or so.

Ahh, the hometown – where I spent the first 18 years of my life. Three thousand people living there then, and now.

Here’s the main intersection (looking NNE) with the Town Hall and the war memorials, including the new one for WWII veterans.

“Westside Pride”, the unit shown here, (small town minimalism to be sure), was one of sixty that came out to march on this Memorial Day, and the rain held off till later in the day.
