White Crested Black Polish Chicks
This last week has been a time of rain. We have been in a dry spell here in Vermont so the rain is welcome. My lower garden is in a wetland area with a heavy blue clay base is very waterlogged at this time. My plan is to spread all the compost made from our sheep and pony pen out in the garden. I use a series of raised beds and after all the floods of last year are raising the beds higher with all the organic material. My lower fields are very flat.
I have also been working on the images of my baby chick pics for Murray McMurray Hatchery. I have 18 different varieties this year so always enjoy taking the chick pics. I raise them to adult stage and take their portraits again. These will be used in the catalog for next year.

Essex ,Vermont with his wife Jennifer and daughter Gabrielle.
"What inspires me to create imagery is the conditions of light within the image. Each season has it's own serendipitous beauty and mystery; I strive to bring that into my finished pieces. I believe that first working as a painter and then as a photographer gives me a unique eye for capturing color and light. "
