I’m not much of a photographer, but this picture is probably my favorite of all the ones I’ve taken. It’s the cemetery right up the road after the surprise late October snow we had last year. I used no filters or any post-processing, and the camera was the lowly built-in iPhone 4 one. I’m 41…

Here’s a sampler platter of the local New Hampshire wildlife that has visited the chicken coop in the last few weeks. Cat. Bird. Fox. Skunk. Subaru.
earth….quake?
So we had an earthquake here in New England on Tuesday night. How about that? I was hooking up the water line to our new fridge when the place started shaking. It felt like a washing machine severely out of balance, and that’s exactly what I thought it was at first…until Robin said that there…

it’s a northern frost toad. they eat granite.
Tiny toad. Miss Lyra with Tiny Toad. That girl is absolutely fearless and non-squeamish when it comes to getting dirty and handling critters. Her brother is a bit more cautious in that respect.
