norton.

this is pretty close to the border, maybe like 1000 ft. not too much around here, except for moose. -i

lewis creek.

if you look closely at the iphone, you'll see we're just on the cusp of lewis pond road. this is pretty much the middle of nowhere. and the road had a foot of snow on it. and a big gate across it. but we're here. - my dad once got stranded here over night with one of his friends. my mom was a little nervous. that's all i got. - i

rucchi and dana routhier on their first day of wedded bliss! xoxo -K
rucchi says after working to get this shot- oh, that's why it takes so long, you have to really time your jumps... -i

wheelock.

*pow, pow!!* guns for sale at the wheelock village store. i could barely focus to take this shot. i'm not sure which was louder...the barking attack dog tied up in the backyard of the shop or my GROWLING stomach. gas was $3.54 at the pump. i remember because the sign was hand written. -K
notice how my head is tilted so it could fit the shot. no, i'm not looking at an LCD screen on my camera, i just knew i'd have to- i think we've been doing this for a while. -i
Photobucket

west burke.

there isn't a story behind every picture. sometimes, the only thing i take away is...why the hell did i think that expression would make for a good picture?
Photobucket

walden station.

please notice and enjoy the lens flare. "hurry, the owner is coming!" -K
yes, the owner was going to come out, i could feel it. -i
Photobucket

walden.

you should know...we ALWAYS park the car directly in front of the garage doors to get these fire department shots. each time we do, i cross my fingers that mrs. smith made her cinnamon toast without incident and that she remembered to turn off her curling iron before leaving for church. it would stink if one day the doors flew open and the trucks came flying out into us. might be a cool shot though.
Photobucket

victory.

at the moment this photo was taken, i wanted to be anywhere but in victory, vt. if some crazy person had jumped out of the bushes to kill us...no one would have known for weeks. i guess a homicidal maniac named the "town." -K
yes, kim was quite scared. "i'm not getting out of the car til the camera is really set up!!!" -i
Photobucket

stannard.

initially, we went 3/4 of the way up the road towards stannard (over a sketchy 1 lane bridge damaged by the once raging river below) and then headed back down towards the main road when we couldn't find it. after consulting the map more closely, we saw that we had been on the correct route to stannard. back up we went and finally, success!
Photobucket

sutton.

at first, sutton fooled me. we rolled in past a bunch of houses that were pretty poorly maintained. finally, we took a left onto a dirt road that led us up and over a hill. we ended up in what felt like rural time square. a 5-way in the middle of no-where-ville, vt. which way? this way? no, that way. ok. we finally got oriented and continued on.

there's a hole in the bucket... -K
sorry i blocked a couple of letters. BTW, what's up with the picture on the wall??? -i

newark.

this picture is genius: laura in her standard mid-air frolic, isaac getting ready to catch a fly (the mascot of this trip to newport) and me trying to look natural despite losing my glasses the moment the camera fired.
Photobucket

lunenburg.

go easy on me. i was fresh out of ideas and ready to rest. let's just call this pose half of a v for vermont.
Photobucket

lyndon.

this was the last picture we took before heading back to burlington on nov. 20th. isaac ran on this track once. oh...and high jump too!
Photobucket

north concord.

Photobucket

kirby.

this was the last stop before heading directly to laura's house in newark for dinner. this spot was just as scary as isaac's face in the 2nd picture. see me looking off to my right? there were some corn husks rustling around just loudly enough to catch my attention. what the...?
