RAIN, EGGS, AND COWS

The wipers rhythmically slapped the windshield as I cornered the bend by the Clous farm.  I have passed this scene a thousand times and many of those times said to myself,  “I’ve got to come and photograph this place”.  So why, in the rain, I decided that today was the day is a mystery even to me.  Go figure.  When inspiration strikes I gotta go with it, so once armed with my camera, I headed back out across the rising waters of the Battenkill.  This farm sits in a unique setting that I always appreciate when I pass by.  The house and barns sit opposite a large pasture, usually populated with cattle and horses, that rises up in a patchwork of trees and old stone walls.

On my way back I made two more stops, one for a tree that can only really be appreciated when it is naked of leaves.  I got an interesting shot of the tree but struck out on the third locale.   The light was seriously uninteresting at that point so I’ll go back another day.
