PAW 2006 - Wk 13 - Maine Maple Sunday

maple sugar treats
abound in early April
much to our delight

If you click on the above photograph, a small flash gallery will open up (takes a minute to load all of the images) of several of the photos that I made at the Weston Family Farm Stand in Fryeburg on the 26th of March for this year's Maine Maple Sunday celebrations. If you choose that presentation, simply close the window when you are done and you will return here.

If you would like a more multi-media presentation, I've created a streaming video presentation and linked it HERE. (This project hosted via YouTube.com so we're at the mercy of their bandwidth. If the video doesn't load from my site, please try viewing it directly on their site HERE.)

This is my very first attempt at creating a slide presentation with ambient audio recorded on location and with soundtrack and voiceover audio recorded and edited in my home 'studio.' I'm sure that given time, I'll get better at this new menium, but I'm having fun and hope you enjoy it regardless. :)

Rainbow

just a cool rainbow
that we saw headed in town
to see battlefield


Battlefield Band played an excellent gig at the Chocolate Church in Bath.

PAW 2006 - Wk 12 - Breakup

most snow has melted
this last ice gurgles away
bring on the wet MUD!

PAW 2006 - Wk #11 - Cats

This is our Keiko napping...


Let sleeping cats lie
They spend most of their lives thus
living through their dreams

My friends Kevin and Shannon's cat Duncan likes to cover up when he sleeps...

PAW 2006 - Wk #10 - Frost Heaves

frost heaves jar your bones
they are a Maine Fact Of Life
the roads calm down soon.

These signs start cropping up all over town in rural Maine this time of year. With the drastic swings in temperatures that we experience in the Spring, the Earth buckles underneath the tar roads and causes upheavals called Frost Heaves. These signs are supposed to warn motorists that the road is bad and that they should slow down. Of course, we've got so many frost heaves in 'Main St.' that this is how you usually see the sign as you are driving by...



UPDATE: More On Frost Heaves.

PAW 2006 - Wk 9 - Does in the Field

three does in the field
notice me as I go by
and break from their lunch.

One my way home from an errand the other day, I saw these white tail deer in the field up on the hill. The winter has been really good to the deer this year because we've had so little snow there should be a very large herd statewide by next Fall.
