Per the Brattleboro Reformer:

The work of 13 different local artists currently graces the walls of the Works Bakery Cafe on Main Street, creating an eclectic show that highlights each artist’s unique style.

Per today's Brattleboro Reformer

The artists have celebrated Brattleboro in watercolors, oil paints, pastels, collages of paper and leaves, pencil drawings, gouache and India ink resist, photography, computer-generated art and even a sculpture of a bird skiing down a slope.

Seek, above all, for a game worth playing. Such is the advice of the oracle to modern man. Having found the game, play it with intensity – play it as if your life and sanity depend on it.

- - Robert S. DeRopp, in The Master Game

Each December in Vermont (and throughout the rest of the nation), small teams of birdwatchers track birds throughout the day. We do this for many reasons, but for me, the best part of Christmas Bird count is the occasionally breathtaking moment where something extraordinary happens.

This particular scene is of great meaning to me, as I'd been attempting to photograph snow geese for some time, and I finally had a strong, solid, and close look at them. As they circled around me, I kept turning, trying to take the best photos I could of the group. This one, when the winter light hit them perfectly as they flew across an open field, remains one of the best photos I've ever taken.

Welcome everybody to CELEBRATE BRATTLEBORO. Once we have artistic content in digital format, I will be able to add an image gallery of sorts and we can start promoting the calendars. If you register for an account you can post comments and participate in discussions.
