Winter Light on the Ravine

Photographer: Kip Bergstrom
January 21, 2022 Ravine Trail Near the spot where I took this picture of the Ravine, I met three hopelessly lost elderly hikers. Once they got over my fearsome appearance with my face wrapped in a Moroccan wool shawl against the day’s cold, they were relieved to find that I had a map on my iPhone and could show them the way back to their car.

Dogwood

Photographer: Rochelle Davis (Photo of  Distinction)
May 4, 2022 Private land The blooming of our native dogwoods [Cornus florida] mark spring for me. Peppered throughout old farms and Lyme’s preserves, dogwoods seem to be honored members of our community. This single last blossom, surrounded by the new leaves that will nourish the tree, serves as a reminder to celebrate their beauty.
