Photophile Musings – The Sparkle Barn
The Sparkle Barn in Wallingford, Vermont is a great shop with tons of artistic handcrafted gifts nested inside an 1800’s dairy barn. My favorite products there are the wide selection of both softbound and hardbound journals. I bought just one today, but there’s little doubt I’ll be returning soon for more! You can also shop […]
Gateway to Nowhere – Photophile Musings
This photo was taken with our Fuji Film camera by me on our property of a couple of posts that used to denote a road that led to the small barn that no longer exists in the field. We removed these posts in 2022, as they deteriorated rapidly over a rough 2021 winter.

Castleton River View from Depot Street Bridge, Fair Haven, Vermont

It was nearby an Amtrak stop recently as 2010, although the stop wasn’t at the old depot itself, which dates back to the early half of the 20th century. Of interest to me […]
Waitsfield, Vermont Village Bridge
Waitsfield, Vermont is a cute little town just south of Stowe and Montpelier. Unfortunately, on this particular day that I happened to be there, none of the interesting places, such as the Madsonian Museum of Industrial Design, were open due to COVID. Even the nearby independent bookstore was closed, making for a very disappointing stop. […]
