On the Santa Cruz page, I’ve just posted photographs from the beach at the Boardwalk. The sky was extraordinarily beautiful, and everything was saturated in shades of blue.

Flood Waters
September 7th, 2011
On the Flood Waters page, I’ve posted some photographs from the day that Tropical Storm Irene reached our area — August 28, 2011. All the photographs were taken in Brattleboro, VT and along the Connecticut River in New Hampshire.
Old Cemeteries
June 8th, 2011
I’ve always loved walking the sacred ground of old cemeteries, wondering about the lives of the people buried there, and meditating on the ways that we remember one another. I took my latest series of photographs at Morningside Cemetery in Brattleboro, VT. They can be found on the Old Cemeteries page.
Winter in New England
March 1st, 2011
I’ve posted some new photographs of our icy, snowy landscape. You can find them on the Winter page.
My Knitting
October 4th, 2010
Recently, I donated a number of handknit items to the Experienced Goods Thrift Shop, a store that benefits Brattleboro Area Hospice. I made these items last winter, and I’ve put photos of them on my Knitting page. The only items on the page that weren’t donated are the cable-knit scarf pictured at left, which I gave to my husband, and the pair of slippers, which I kept for myself!
I made many of the items from homespun yarn. Over the past few years, Bob has been using a drop-spindle to spin yarn from fleece that came from our sheep in Colrain. The items in white and gray came from our Shetland sheep, while the pair of darker homespun mittens came from our Icelandic sheep. Much of the yarn for the other items came from yarn locally spun at the Green Mountain Spinnery, a worker-owned cooperative in Putney, VT.
Autumn in New England
October 4th, 2010
The leaves are changing color once again. I’ve posted some new photos on the Autumn page.
By the Ocean
September 30th, 2010
I’ve put up a series of new photographs on the By the Ocean page. I took all of the photos during our visit to Newport, Rhode Island over the Labor Day weekend. While my husband officiated at a wedding, I took a long walk and gazed at the natural beauty.
An Award for My Photography
September 2nd, 2010
Back in July, I submitted three photographs for a Brattleboro photography contest and, lo and behold, I won second prize! Throughout the month of September, all three photographs will be displayed at The Latchis Theatre, our historic Art Deco theatre, which has been going through an amazing artistic renovation in the past several years. The theatre showcases the work of artists from all over the region, and I am honored to be one of them. My work will also appear in the 2011 Town Plan and other town publications, and in the Brattleboro Reformer Photo Journal.
Since the town of Brattleboro now has the exclusive right to publish the photographs, I can’t display them here, but I will provide links to them when they appear online or post copies when they appear in local publications. I love taking photographs just for the pure joy of it, but it feels wonderful to have my work acknowledged in my local community.
Walking Through the Woods
August 16th, 2010
I’ve put up a series of new photographs on the Walking Through the Woods page. I took all of the photographs during my walks on the Brattleboro Retreat Trails.
