Autumn glory in Vermont. Red, green, yellow, orange, green.
Taken at a local Curly Horse Rescue Farm approximately three weeks after the birth of the foal. Information and other photos of Curly horses found here. They are absolutely STUNNING in winter, in full CURLS!
My friend’s cabin in southern Vermont. I was attracted to the candle glowing in the window and the fall foilage in the foreground.
The Great Blue Heron sits almost motionless, despite the raging falls. Almost unseen. Waiting. I sit waiting too, watching … these grand creatures of water and wind. Moments, hours pass. Mist from the falls graces my face. Great Blue fishes; I sit in awe and wonder from the old wooden footbridge. Flight, almost flight, colors dance against the backdrop of the water. Heron Dance. Image altered post processing, giving piece an oil painting effect. Below is the real, actual photo, prior to post processing and reduced to fit: /
Too quickly, the Great Blue Herons will begin their migration. Perhaps this particular juvenile will return and grace us with its presence next summer. My heart and soul rejoices with the breathtaking return of these birds each year. Autumn migration has begun … we are beginning to see other feathered friends on their long, arduous, journeys south. Photo taken on the North Branch of the Winooski River, Montpelier VT. September 16, 2008.
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.“ John Muir Photo taken at Groton State Forest, Vermont, October 2008.

The old barn is a Morrisville, Vermont landmark and is owned by Earle and Arlene Welch. Earle`s grandfather built the barn in 1916 and up to 10 years ago was where the Welch`s milked their cows. The barn has 20 sides and is considered rare. The barn was a trend at the time so his grandfather wanted to build the latest, most efficient, prettiest thing he could come up with. After 92 years the barn is showing it`s age and needs alot of work, so the Welch`s started a renovation project 8 years ago. To save money the Welch family is doing the work themselves….Earl uses wood from the land and cuts it into planks himself. Their three children and five grandchildren help on the weekends and in the evenings. And after 8 years, the family is now on the fast track to finish the job because a granddaughter is planning to get married here next June. “They’re hard workers – they want it as much as we do,” Arlene says. In rebuilding the round barn the Welchs are sticking to the original design. They’re even going to repaint this yellow which they did 40 years ago to have it match the original red stain that was there when it was built in 1916. “But Earle has had one goal in his life and that is to put this barn back the way it was when his grandpa built it,” Arlene says. Earle agrees, “That’s my dream. Some people want to take vacations, but I want to see the barn restored.” A legacy to leave for the next generation. Kristin Carlson WCAX news

Crow serves as the gatekeeper to the void, the void being the formless world of spirit. Crow can travel between the spirit world and the phenomenal or physical world of reality. Crow’s black feathers retain elements of the substance of the void with their subtle, fluctuating iridescence. There are many stories from many cultures that talk about how Crow played an important role in the development and evolution of humanity…including the bringing of light out of the darkness. This painting depicts Crow in the between space of spirit and the physical world. I worked on this piece while at a painting residency at Vermont Studio Center in 2008. This is one of the first paintings that I felt really spoke directly to me and had a consciousness of its own. I believe all my paintings, when I am working on them, are alive in some way. But usually they simply resonate with the energy that I focus on when I paint them. This painting was unique and individual and had its own personality and energy independent of my own. I talked to this painting. She told me what she wanted. I had only to listen… (original painting: “Crow, She Brought Light”, acrylic on canvas, 30×30”) All artwork and text © Copyright 2009 DoAn Art (Antony Galbraith) unless indicated otherwise.

Photo taken in Vermont in a local forest area. June 10, 2009. The Pink Lady Slipper, or Moccasin Flower, is a wild, rare and endangered orchid that blooms in Spring. Usually the first week of June these can be found in certain locations in the wild. This photo was taken in a pine forest area in Vermont. “Take only pictures, leave only footprints” – (unknown to me at the moment whose statement that is, if anyone knows the direct source, please let me know). / / “Cypripedium acaule is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. Members of this genus are commonly referred to as lady’s slipper orchids. First described in 1700, Cypripedium acaule is commonly referred to as the Pink Lady’s Slipper.[2] The Pink Lady’s Slipper is the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and in Nova Scotia, Canada it is considered endangered and is protected by law. If the plant’s blossom does not cycle through, it will not regenerate; for this reason, it is recommended that the flower not be picked. An alba variety exists which has a white lip instead of a pink one.” This information was taken directly from “Cypripedium acaule” found in Wikipedia online. Canon DSLR

Being a new member of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), I’m learning tons of new vegetables, recipes, and the joy of a continually happy tummy!

Learn even more about Community Supported Agriculture in Vermont at the NOFA-VT site. These are garlic scapes, which are the flower stems that grow from Allium sativum (garlic) before the bulb matures. The local CSA farmers remove the scapes to push the plant’s energy toward heartier bulbs of garlic (harvested a bit later in the season). Tender, delicious, a bit milder than the hardneck varieties of garlic that produce garlic scapes … a true delicacy for any garlic lover! So far, I’ve sauteed and stir fried the delicious (and gorgeous) garlic scapes. These are going to be made into pesto … If they are available in your area, I suggest trying them in your early summer cooking. If not, enjoy their beauty visually!
