February 27, 2010 – Took this shot from down in the valley, from behind the Presbyterian Church, with my 70-200mm zoom in heavy snow. A different perspective, for me, perhaps for you. Bedlam Farm saved my life in a number of ways, and nearly ruined it in some others. A magical place for me, and I love it. I know every inch of the house and those barns and have undertaken the hero’s journey there, and am still on it.

It’s a special place in a snowstorm. Rose and I walked down the hill and into town to get this shot and this hill is where Rose, six months old, went out into a blizzard and found the sheep and donkey who had walked through the gates of the big barn, above and out into the dark. We walked them back together and it was the beginning of an extraordinary collaboration that continues to this day. Now, she is inspiring my writing, especially the novel “Rose In A Storm.” She never stops working and I enjoyed our walk and this perspective.
