It’s an image we’ve all seen before, but with a twist.
Shaggy, massive, notoriously poor of eyesight and arguably dim of wit:
…but nonetheless an iconic figure on the American Plains….
Buffalo!
…and a tobacco barn??
These bad boys are bound for burgers, sad to say. Such is the fate of this great symbol of America’s Exceptional Plenty.

…I shot my camera. Got this photo of trees reflecting in the Connecticut up at the Montague/Sunderland line:
…and this one, of a New Age Tobacco Barn in Hatfield at sunset:
Both of these venues have potential for some interesting photographs, and will bear watching through the seasons and in various weather.
Enjoy.

Down in the Connecticut River Valley, it’s a whole ‘nother world, a place of open spaces and farm machinery bigger than what works up here in the hills.
Here are a few shots from the Flatlands.
A tobacco barn in Hatfield:
Daisies along that same road witness the sowing of the fields:
…and in Easthampton, a farm snuggles into the generous flanks of Mt. Tom:
It’s a pretty place to visit, but come nightfall?
I’m headin’ for the hills!
