There’s probably no finer swimming area in southern VT than the NEPCO picnic grounds on the southern side of Harriman Reservoir: clean, cold water, few people, and access to miles of shoreline. It’s a dreamy place, with high mountain views to the north and west, where it’s easy to wile away a summer day, whatever the weather. Here, a storm is brewing.
It’ll probably be awhile before I make it out to the Plains states, if I ever do, but this gets me in the spirit. The man here was planting the field by hand, seeds in a bag at his waist.
The spring version in the series Willow on Pond. My intention was to photograph this scene at the height of each season. It was such a pleasure watching and waiting, over the course of a year, for everything to align.
There’s a store in town that has a huge, and (mostly) empty wall at the checkout area. I thought customers waiting in line might enjoy my Willow on Pond sequence: four seasons, four images, same scene. This image was a part of the sales proposal. Alas, it went nowhere beyond “..can you do a mockup and send it along to us ..”
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.
