winter

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.

Late winter, out in the middle of a mountain pond, temperature hovering at freezing but no wind, dressed warmly, hanging out with friends – the allure of ice fishing.

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.

Amy and her husband bought a house in Wardsboro in 1963;  three of the kitchen doors, it turns out, were decorated by Feodor Rojankovsky sometime in the 1930’s.  She tells the story in the May/June, 2008 issue of Vermont magazine.

Over 70 years ago, the famous artist and illustrator of children’s books decorated the kitchen doors of a Wardsboro home where he was often a guest.  See above post.
