Good morning from this gloomy Sunday here at the farm. I’m taking the gloom head-on.

It’s a gray and colorless day outside, so I decided my photographic mission was to see the gray as beautiful and capture the feeling of it.

Last night, we went out to our new favorite place to get food, the Shift Food Cart, which sits three evenings a week outside the Argyle Brewery in the middle of town. I am addicted to photographing the Shift wagon at night; it feels like pure Edward Hopper.

People eating or visiting the brewery can come right outside and order some excellent food.

We had a sweet and quiet evening at home together capping off Maria’s birthday.

The donkeys and Zinnia gave me a chance to capture the gray pasture; I just overexposed the image of the three of them.

The fallen white birch limb looks pretty sweet in a gray coat.

I am also hooked on watching the birds zoom in and off the bird feeder; they have so much energy and focus.

Maria and I are going to Bennington today in search of some snails and shrimp for our newly revamped fish tank. She loves snails. We find the tank soothing and peaceful.

More later

Our back porch, waiting for spring on a gray day.
