The Watts Family

Last weekend I had the opportunity to do some photography for a really good friend and her family, Lila.
We were able to get some really awesome photo's and they were really great to work with Garrett was a hoot! And Lila is really photogenic. We had so much fun.
Another photographer friend, Grace came along and it is always good to have someone along to catch the shots you miss, we will probably be working together a great deal in the future.
The light was great the weather co operated the photos are taken at Sandbridge Beach so far the only changes I have made is to the last photo just had to play around with at least one, the rest are pretty much as they came off the camera. Of course having a great family to work with always helps.

The Billings Farm, Vermont

This was the 2nd farm we stopped at, it was totaly different from Sugarbush this one had been donated to the State by the Billings family and was run by the state, it was $11 per person to get in and the tour took several hours. It was a dairy farm as you might have guessed from the pictures. It was very interesting but I dont think I would pay the 11 bucks for a 2nd tour. The Cow at the very bottom of this page is Sasha and she was expecting her 13th calf, poor thing. They breed the cows every year of their adult life to keep them producing milk. Something to think about next time you drink a glass of milk!

Sugarbush Farm, Vermont

We stopped at two working farms on the way home, the first was Sugarbush, they have a website, www.sugarbushfarm.com. The tour is free and you get to sample cheese that they make and Maple syrup that they also make, yum! and then of course you just have to buy some for the trip home, the post in the picture shows thier snowfall each year, the little thing at the very top is last years snowfall.........brrrrrrrrrrrr. I might had that this farm is located at the top of a mountain. It was a great farm the owners give the tour and it was all very informal and homey feeling.

Quechee Gorge, Vermont

It's hard to believe that this time last week we were on our way home, I have a lot of catching up todo! This was one of the first place's we stopped at it was really pretty place just outside of Woodstock, Vermont it's a state park with some really cool shopping in the area, there was a place I really wanted to check out but it was closed, we were there too early in the morning, it was called "Scotland by the Yard" and carried Scottish and English stuff/goodies.

This and That in Vermont

Top Charlie eating breakfast at Brian & Nicole's with a captive audience! We found this wonderful little bakery in town with the best homemade pastries & muffins.

Of course no trip anywhere with Charlie would be complete without a drive around the neighborhood to look at houses for sale!

Sharon Vermont

Brian and Nicole live about 5 minutes from Sharon, Vermont, the birthplace of Joseph Smith, it was very beautiful there, as always the Church maintains the grounds in excellent condition, the flowers were beautiful and the Spirit was strong we had a wonderful missionary give us the tour he really knew the site well and the local history.

The Church building that Brian and Nicole will be going to is on the same site and is beautiful I just wish I had taken more photos.

Covered Bridges

There were plenty of these around where Brian and Nicole lived, this one I think was in Tunbridge.

This picture is of us, well Charlie actually, I got out to take some pictures, driving through the bridge. Amazing!
