A profile shot of a Ring-Necked Pheasant, which I startled then befriended on the side of Mt. Greylock in Western Massachusetts.

Like much of the Berkshires, this cabin tells of a more prosperous age in Western Massachusetts. Take just off of Route 2 in Florida, MA.

Sign of Spring

Temperatures at the coast of New Hampshire were much lower than inland, but this new Lamb’s Ear (?) was looking forward to warmer days.

Wagon Hill Farm

A visit to Wagon Hill Farm in Dover, NH. I had driven by it countless times, but didn’t realize it was public land!

My first post as Dr. Mike! A lonely tree in Odiorne Point State Park, on the ocean’s edge.

The Mt. Washington Stage Line’s Snow Coach was our trip up (lower left; we cheated), but two pair of Nordic skis our trip back down the Auto Road. Conditions on the road were … terrible, but it was a lot of fun. We see Mt. Adams in the center, with it’s smaller cousin J.Q. Adams just to the right. Further right, Mt. Madison.

Looking down on the clouds

Coming down the Mt. Washington Auto Road, looking down on clouds above the Great Gulf Wilderness. I think Mt. Jefferson is on the left, and a bit of Adams on the right. Certainly different from our Presidential traverse earlier in the summer!

Moonscape

About 4 1/2 miles up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, courtesy of the Snow Coach. What you see is not snow, but rime ice, which is frozen cloud. This made for slippery driving and impossible skiing, at least until we were below tree line again. Otherwise, a beautiful January day!

Flaky lens

During the January 21st snow storm, Tim and I went for a short photo trek around the valley. I’ve been taking film photos as well with my old Canon AE1, some Ilford HP5, and a 50mm lens. This snowflake landed on the AE1 at a very convenient time!

That same barn, showing its true colors.
