Heron returns

Same bird as last year?

Rail Trail Egret

This egret was hanging out in the ponds along the rail trail last year but didn't seem to attract the notice that the blue heron did. A heron is back this year, no sign of an egret so far.

Sheep shot

These critters were on Moody Bridge Road in Hadley one misty morning. The image appears in 2008 Massachusetts Agricultural Calendar and will be used on the cover of a report from the American Farmland Trust.

Hanging at the State House

Stan Rosenberg invited the Pioneer Valley Photo Artists to exhibit images at his office in the State House and I'm among those taking him up on the offer. The photos (40 in all) will be on display from April 1 through June 6th and can be seen during normal statehouse business hours (no weekends or holidays). Stan has long been involved in promoting the arts and is one of the founders of the Arts Extension Service.

The photo in the header is a slice of my contribution to the exhibit.
