Yesterday I was invited to go to Rowe Highlands Farm. One of the things I wanted to photography was the Highland Steer. The steer you see pictured was rejected by the mother at birth , because a bear was approaching. It was brought up by Jack and Susan Williams, who bottle fed him. He is a Highlands Steer, a breed cultivated in Scotland. This fellow is very gentle. He has so much hair, he is kept outside all winter.
Can be found in Vermont.
I
like to buy my food in the Big Y super market in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Driving back home through Colrain, Massachusetts I saw a an interesting looking  farm along the road, I parked the car along the busy highway and walked into the field with my camera. Here is the result. There are two photos: one showing the whole complex, the other showing a detail so you can see the laundry hanging out to dry.

At first I didn’t think this photo was worth much but, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Like the farm photo and during the same trip, my eye caught the sun on the branches of the still empty apple trees. So I parked and scrambled over the gutter into the field. It’s the combination of the scraggly branches and the wonderful light that make the photo for me.

Yesterday I drove to Bennington to see Eric Peterson. He is a professional actor that started a theater company in Bennington, Vermont that has been going for many years. He was able to find the money to convert an old downtown building into a theater with a stage, lobby and offices. I know what it takes to do this.
