A Little Bit of Home

Ashfield, Ma. the prettiest place around.
Lords over their domain of compost. The fence is a bit useless this time of year. Good thing chickens are too stupid to try to run away...

The boys were most certainly not allowed to do this. They had sculpted out a perfect sledding path, complete with jump, and were sledding happily down the roof, blasting off into air at the end, and then landing with a thud in the snowbank. I made them stop, but of course I had to take a picture first.
All I have to say is this: Don't mess with my dad when he's out to blaze trails. Those last three inspired by Frank Armstrong's this old place photos.

Soviet Bad-Assery

Hey everyone. I'm back from break early to work on a paper where there is internet that moves above a snail's pace. It makes such a difference for research purposes. Check out this photo shoot I did with my sister while I was home. Again, these are straight out of the camera and need a LOT of editing. I still think they are pretty cool though. More pictures from break later.

old school

God help me, I'm trying to upload my blog from the Dead Zone. Get this, there is high-speed 2.8 miles down the road on one side, and they are installing up to 4/5 of a mile away on the other side. In between, where we live, there is only painfully slow dial up. And a few angry families.
Anyway, if I can get this to load, here is something I really want to post - my very first fashion shoot with my darling sister. I rather think my skills have improved since then (not to mention my equipment. These are shot with an early model olympus point and shoot). You'll get to see the newest shoot when I get back to the land where high-res jpg's don't take a day and a half to load. For now, enjoy these priceless jems.
