The Photo club meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the New Ipswich Library. It’s a fun group, we share photo ideas and plan a theme or outing for the month. This photo was taken at my first outing in December of 2013 at an old barn in Jaffrey, NH. It was a cold and dark place which presented several challenges and learning experiences. You can learn more about the photo club by emailing us.Photograph Caught in the web by John Poltrack on 500px

Spring is 61 days away

Good morning, another drastic change in the weather from yesterday. Instead of zero temperatures we are supposed to have heavy rains today, but I suspect it will start as freezing rain, the bane of trees and power lines.  We’ll wait and see what surprises nature will provide.

I was trying to remember where I was when I took this photo. I’m going to guess Singapore in 1971.
I had the opportunity to walk around the older parts of town

Walking along a ridge line in California, watching the clouds break as they flowed over the top
I think those are California poppies just right of the path. The official state flower.

This was the location of a photo field trip last December. It was a lot colder and darker than this photo indicates.
