Molly also took lots of photos of Max and Truman.  They were having a great day - until Maxx discovered the truth about leeches!   Enjoy!


Catching Crawdads.  This is a BIG one! 















A good splashing place:  


















Two handsome boys










How I love this grin!

Molly took some great photos on Saturday while I was away teaching a jewelry class in Potsdam.  














There's a dramatic shot of the old barn against a stormy bright sky:
















Some fun shots of the Cow Slips that she and Bryan transplanted a few weeks ago.










More dramatic foliage:   

















Blossoming trees













Interesting textures:



















And here's a silly shot of the lovely photographer herself against that same dramatic sky.  (taken from down in the stream bed.  We need to get a goat to keep that area well mowed so we can enjoy it during the summer.)

We spent the day today working over at the Beorningstead.  Boy do my arms ache.  I uncovered a huge nest of ladybugs in the lawn.

Bry put in the pump and I did some raking &  garbage collecting outside and some cleanup inside.  I so want to be over there right now.  I'm trying not to be discouraged about the roof and am trying to convince myself that there is still some way to make the move before garden season. 

I took lots of photos for documentation purposes but I'm not up to posting them and explaining all about them tonight.  But here are some fun shots that I took and altered with TiltShiftMaker.  I've been wanting to play with this tool for a long time.  It's pretty keen.

There's one of the brook from the bridge






One of Maxx in front of the bridge


 One of the front porch





 And one of the whole Beorningstead from Jonathan's house.






Spring.  The trees are budding.  Pretty soon, it will be hard to get a good photo of the place from that vantage point.
