On the south side of Charters River one can walk along a picturesque rainforest nature trail to appreciate the stream and the thick foliage. If you don’t mind clambering over moss covered rocks and picking your way through lush ferns, you can make your way […]

Melting Barn 2016
The old barn is completely resting on its left side this year. However, it is still managing to avoid crumbling into a jumbled heap. I will have to wait to see what another winter does to this old resilient barn. Click on the following links […]

Beauty in Decay
Last Saturday was a beautiful, bright, sunny day, perfect for exploring the countryside. I spotted a few old, abandoned buildings in my travels, but I was only able to get to this gem via a pathway. This house rests precariously on a crumbling concrete foundation. […]

Schaff Family
The Charters River, trail and surrounding forest made a great backdrop for the Schaff family session last weekend. I am sure they did not expect to be clambering about on rocks and logs. I am glad they were so willing to risk getting a little […]
