"Robin's Breakfast" by Mary Stebbins Taitt


"Winter Hunting Ground"




"We snowshoed in to Nashua Creek yesterday where we saw a bluejay that had been eaten, perhaps by the fox whose tracks skirted the edge of the ice."

"Sunset Storm at Greenfield Village"

Mary Stebbins Taitt created this picture and sent it to me today. This was interesting... today just happens to be one of those days when it fits the mood, even though the sun is shining. Days can be like that, and it's a paradox, sometimes. You want to feel good, but you have trouble doing it. Or a friend is ill and can't be consoled. You try in good heart, and yet you fail. Thank goodness for such days, though. They keep us in check. They keep us from getting the "big head". They remind us that all is not tidy and predictable. They keep us on our toes, and watchful.

the true definition of curiosity


Gail Slaughter sent me this picture, but we don't know who took it... she sent it because my friend and companion Smokey looks just like this intrepid warrior... and Gail was the one who helped rescue him and bring him to me... thank you, Gail, from both of us!

"Andree's Home in Barton, Vermont"

This beautiful picture was sent to me by my friend Andree. She told me the water to the left in the shot consists of beaver ponds. Just look at that sky! What a place to be! Well, maybe not in winter...she tells me the snow near Barton's Mountain comes a full foot at a time!

Blue Beach Rider


A shot sent me by my good friend, Mary Stebbins Taitt. It gives the feeling of adventure, promise, wider horizons, new beginnings, new hope. That's about all you can ask for from life!
