behind my mother's house is the bay.  each winter, it gets cold enough that the surface of the water freezes - enough that birds and ducks actually walk on it.  these are some shots i took while my niece & godson were feeding them with pieces of bread...

Hope Cemetery – A Work of Art

Located on a small hillside in Barre, VT, the "Granite Capital of the World", the Hope Cemetery stands as a magnificent tribute to the stone cutters and artisans peacefully interred amongst their very own creations. Entering the front gate, you will pass by two granite sentries, forever watchful over their abode. From the moment you arrive you’ll notice this is no typical resting place for loved ones gone by. It is truly a gallery of splendid artwork in the most unusual of settings.
