A Wise Old Bird Says ...

A wise old bird says, "If you're looking for something really great to do this weekend, and you are not very far from southeastern Vermont ...


... then you don't want to miss Newfane Heritage Festival, on the Newfane Common, where 90 talented artists and hand crafters will tempt you to do your Christmas shopping early, while some of the friendliest people in New England will entertain you and feed you.


"Well," say the smart birds, "let's get a move on!"


(Explantory Note: All of the arrangements for the 90 Exhibitors at the festival is my responsibility, so I'll pretty much be living on the Common this weekend - it's a beautiful location, great Fall weather is on tap, the hills are ablaze. If you are in the area, come on over! Check the website: www.newfaneheritagefestival.org)

  1. Wow! Love the image of the raven. Chris, I'll be there this weekend, hope to run into you. It's been a while. Last time I attended I got an autograph from Kenneth Galbraith in the only novel he had ever written "A Tenured Professor" and ran into Archie Mayor.

  2. Wow, I'm eager to get this kind of activity around here but not so early. Still I would have like to go there ;-) Beautiful Jay pictures Chris.

  4. Hi Chris!
    Thanks for your kind visit!
    Google's translation is not quite right... It really means "showing the animals to their best"!
    Let's say insects and especially dragonflies stage themselves pretty well on their own!!
    Since I essentially do macro photography, I use a Nikon bridge P100, sufficient for this purpose.
    I did tell you how I find your photos have tremendously improved in last few months and even if I don't always have the time to leave a comment (promise, I'll do it more often, you really deserve it!!) I often come to admire your work!
    Cheers, Chris!

  5. It sounds like a great weekend. I would definitely go if I lived in the area. You photo of the Blue Jays hurrying to get to the festival made me chuckle.
