  • November Gold

    Number of comments: 5
    We've been lucky so far with any real winter conditions kept at bay; and the mild temps allowed us to take a couple late afternoon rides recently. By 'late afternoon' these days, we're talking 3-ish to 5-ish until daylight savings comes back around...

    But for now that's where the [...]

    Leafless, but pretty mild for late November.



    It was a fine afternoon for a quick drive through Mt. Tom State Park, for a quick overview of a newly bark-heavy valley...



    There are several lookouts along the [...]

    The fog was hanging low over the Holyoke range on this rainy Friday afternoon, and I took a drive out towards the Meadows section of Northampton for a better look.



    Unfortunately by the time I got out there and successfully negotiated through or [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    Having followed the Longmeadow Lancers more or less throughout this football season, we had to see their game vs. equally potent rival East Longmeadow Spartans, for the AA conference championship. Parking lots were brimming over, the stands were full, and the field was ringed with onlookers on this Thanksgiving morning.[...]

    A couple pigeon shots...



    Ever present. Living symbiotically with us; intertwined with the follies of man. Forever cleaning up after what we see fit to waste. Squirrels of the air.

    A rainy Saturday drive over Mount Tom into Easthampton brought on a craving for some woodsy trekking at good ol' Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary, even if it's a wet trek.



    Ok, I get it. Summer's over.



    Whatever' [...]

    A blossoming interest in local high school football resurfaced again and I checked out the second half of Minnechaug high school's defence against powerhouse Longmeadow on Friday night...

    On the Sturbridge/ Brimfield line there's a wooded spot called the Leadmine Wildlife Management Area. And in part of that area is a short wooded path called the Heins Farm tail, where I happened to find myself strolling Monday afternoon.



    It's a short [...]

    It was getting pretty late in the afternoon when we finally managed to set out for a visit to one of the farms participating in the annual, Franklin County-wide, Cider Days event. We tried the Clarkdale Fruit Farm last year during the [...]

    The much anticipated day is here.



    This local election cycle has brought some interesting dramatics and several surprising challenges to long time incumbents.
