The dog days of summer are a welcome counterpart to New England’s long and cold winters. Between staff vacations and the amount of summertime activity needing coverage, I feel fortunate to get out and about with my camera for the Valley News. Here’s a few of my favorites:
From top: After a quick dip in the Connecticut River, Pete the Papillon watches his owner swim with a friend, cooling off after work at the East Wilder Boat Launch in West Lebanon, N.H.; Passing in front of AVA Gallery and Art Center, a young runner is amongst the 112 who participated in Brady’s Run, a one-mile fun run before the start of the 13th annual Skip Matthews Memorial Run in Lebanon; Scott Turnbull, of Essex, Vt., demonstrates drone goggles he customized with silly eyes during a demonstration by the Northern New England Drone User Group at the Royalton Memorial Library in South Royalton, Vt.; Erin Zagadailov, of Grantham, N.H., hands a bag of clothing to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Dunne, of Hartland, Vt., while rotating stock as part of a community service project with campaign volunteers and supporters at Listen in White River Junction, Vt.; Anna Royce, of Norwich, Vt., greets organist Phyllis Potter, of Sharon, Vt., as she arrives for the Beaver Meadow Union Chapel’s monthly service in Norwich. Potter has been playing at services for 25 years because she enjoys the pump organ in the 100-year-old church; Joel Dizon, of Lebanon, tries to catch a crayfish while volunteering to clean up the Mascoma River in Lebanon.

One of my daughter’s favorite parts of summer is being a part of The Chelsea Funnery’s Shakespeare camp. Over two weeks, the teenagers learn and do two performances of The Bard’s plays. This year it was his comedy Much Ado About Nothing. I’m always impressed with how much they accomplish in a short time! Here’s a few of my favorites — follow this link to see even more.
A mid-week rainstorm cleared in time for Adriana and Robert’s wonderful wedding at the Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, Vt. Their touching ceremony was as beautiful as the weather! Follow this link to see more on my Facebook page.
The Vermont History Expo has been coming to the Tunbridge fairgrounds since 2007; I have covered it several times for the Valley News. This year, I also did a small photo spread for Enterprise, its sister business publication. As someone who has an interest in history, I enjoy meeting others with the same passion! Here’s a few of my published favorites:
From top: Sue Cain, of Royalton, Vt., demonstrates spinning flax to make thread during the Vermont History Expo 2016 in Tunbridge, Vt. Cain, who also works in the Antique Hill log cabin during the Tunbridge Fair, has been doing demonstrations since the expo started at the fairgrounds in 2007; Dave Tuttle, of Walpole, N.H., shows the various stages of woodcarving at the Green Mountain Woodcarvers booth. The club meets across Vermont for carve-ins and also give demonstrations at festivals; Flag-bearer Nathan Depatie, of Brandon, Vt., leads Rustan Swenson, of Shoreham, Vt., and the rest of the Seth Warner Mount Independence Fife and Drum Corps as part of the Expo’s mid-day parade.
