The roosters in this backyard "poultry herd" were quite majestic. They had the most dramatic tail feathers I'd ever seen on a rooster. I think they are well fed!

Speckled Chickens
I was in the middle of this small herd of speckled chickens and they never stopped moving! They had the most beautiful multi colored feathers. I wonder what color their eggs are?

Marginal Way, Ogunquit
This lovely spot is in my neighborhood. I live a short drive through the woods to Ogunquit. When I was 13 did I ever think I would end up living near my favorite beach? The marginal way is one of the popular walks in southern Maine where you can get right out there on the rocks next to the crashing surf.

Vermont Grazing
These cows were in North Bennington. Vermont cows are the best. Maybe its because there are more cows than people? I don't know if that is true anymore. The small dairy farms are disappearing. Support our small farms! Eat local!

North Bennington, Vermont
The pastures are open and the views are endless in this south west corner of Vermont. On one farm I drive across the field to the top of the hill and see rolling hills and farms in every direction.

Vermont Cows and Barns
Every year I make several painting trips to Vermont. I found this farm in North Bennington, VT on the NY border. The owner lets me drive up into his high open pastures to paint. The views are magnificent.

Low Tide on Salmon Falls River
The Salmon Falls River is tidal as it winds through the hills and woods of southern Maine before it empties into the Piscatisqua River. This is a favorite place for me to go and watch the migrating birds pause on their way to their summer homes.
