All,
I apologize to everyone who wrote me the past week for not answering properly. I was on vacation and was at the far reaches of the wireless internet connection and things were slow. I was limited on the time I could spend online, and I did not have my computer. In any event, here are a few photo’s from our time away. I will try to keep it as close as possible to a pine barren adventure
I roamed around my relatives property in Vermont and took photo’s of the wild flowers and weeds, many of them invasive.

On a back road
Visited a place I hiked to with my dad and brother in 1967.
We were there alone from Sunday night on. Might as well use my relatives porch
And there has been evidence for years that there was a benchmark on his property, but I could never find it. However, this time I did. It is an Azimuth mark so I am certain there are others around. Next time
It rained basically all week there, and on our way home one evening we saw this in the distance close to the house. It really is just clouds that reach the ground.
Our humble abode. We stayed in the building on the right.
It has rained so much up there, and the weather has been cool, that the corn is not growing. The farmers are in a panic and the list of farm failures in the last month is alarming.
Jessica caught a penny fish on the train tracks
My favorite place to photograph.
May pond
Jessica found this bug.
Simpson’s Sky for basically the first time............ yesterday.
The town was the industrial town of the area, and the remains of the sewing machine factory can still be found on a path hidden in the woods near the main section of town. This shows the ruins of the building and one of the belt driven pulley which worked just like a sawmill.
We took a ride before packing up for the week and this rainbow was still visible here an hour after we saw it from home.
And finally, a video. Picture yourself along the Jersey Central RR in years gone by waiting for the train to pass. You put your ear to the track as I did, and listened for any sound you could. In the distance you hear it coming and then this.....
Give it time to load, it is 30MB.
