There’s enough farm and forest land where I live to support flocks like these. A couple times a year, you’ll get to stop or slow down for them as they cross some secondary road.

The full moon in June, also known as the Rose Moon (Colonial American), Lotus Moon (Chinese), Green Corn Moon (American Cherokee Indian), and my favorite, the Moon of Horses (Celtic), rises out over the Atlantic Ocean. The lights on the horizon line are ships moving in a southeasterly direction, left to right across the photo.

A quick visit to a perennial flower garden with camera, tripod and a good macro lens can easily turn into an hourlong reverie. On this early evening, hummingbirds were visiting.

The crops are in now, the growing season in full swing. Here, in the middle of a remarkably hot spell of early June weather, a soft morning light.

The meadows are now about 3 feet high in this part of the world, and farmers are starting to mow. In another barn on this property, the hay bales are already stacked up to the roof.

This is the interior of the same barn shown above. The contrast is striking; in the summer, the inside of these places can be as dark and moody as the outsides are light and breezy. My lifelong love affair with barns began with a huge, deserted four story structure, a myth really, that was a couple hundred yards from where I grew up.

Looking towards the back porch, ocean side, of a summer cottage, ready to go for the season (see earlier posts – Offseason I and II).

These rooms stood empty for the greater part of 20 years, the owner in a nursing home, so the story goes. One spring evening, walking in the back yard among daffodils that seemed none the worse for wear from the inattention, I heard kids playing off in the valley below, and felt that the owners probably had a good life here. But who knows? The artwork was in a pile of rubbish elsewhere in the house, which has since been torn down.

The spring version in the series Willow on Pond. My intention was to photograph this scene at the height of each season. It was such a pleasure watching and waiting, over the course of a year, for everything to align.

There’s a store in town that has a huge, and (mostly) empty wall at the checkout area. I thought customers waiting in line might enjoy my Willow on Pond sequence: four seasons, four images, same scene. This image was a part of the sales proposal. Alas, it went nowhere beyond “..can you do a mockup and send it along to us ..”
