Margaret, one of the owners of this classic New England cottage, said that she and her dad would often have their breakfast on this part of the porch, after their morning swim.  It has been in her family since her grandparents purchased it in 1928.

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.

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.
