peeping
We drove up to Lake Willoughby this afternoon to peep some leaves and see a part of Vermont we’d never seen before. It’s actually only a tiny bit further north than Burke, which is a favorite of ours for skiing, snowshoeing and biking. The leaves are in full effect just a little further north of […]

Time to blow the cobwebs out this piece! Starting about 2.5 weeks ago I came down with a nasty flu. Fortunately there was no vomiting, but I had the fevers, aches, crazy cough, and the cloudy head. It took a solid 10 days to get back to the point where I was remotely capable of […]

I saw a bald eagle on my way home this afternoon. Apparently they live in the area but I never believed. It took nine years but I finally spotted one.

murmuration
This gave me goosebumps. When I posted this video earlier today it had 330k views and it’s now up to 801k (826k!) in 5 hours. Blowing up! I love that something like this can ignite so quickly, and that you can watch it in real time. Lots of folks complaining about the music on the […]

the very first time
The snow flew yesterday morning and started accumulating after dark. In related news, I bought a car cover a month or two ago. So traumatized was I by the amount of pine sap and needles that were accumulating daily that I was on the verge of having the trees cut down. Seriously, I made calls. […]

This stellar diagram blew my mind. VY Canis Majoris is pretty amazing.

volume 2
This has 1.5 million hits on Vimeo, which is mind blowing to me. He recommends you go full screen and HD and I would have to agree. So crisp, so flicker free.
