These photos were taken in the woods around Southern Vermont College at the base of Mt. Anthony. There's a lot to find in the woods around the school but its also really dark with all the trees and overcast. The first photo is a bird house I found a few hundred feet away from the school and it was off the trail. It appears to have had a bee hive on it at one point but no longer. The second photo is of a foam block that is floating in a little pool of water. The pool is connected to an irrigation system of some sort and the block is tired to a hose. In the water there were a bunch of tadpoles and lizards swimming around. If you go near the water they all swim out from the algae which is cool. It also seemed to be really deep for such a small pool of water. There were strands of algae on the bottom which reached the top of the water and looked to be over 3 feet in length. I am curious how deep the pool actually is and whats at the bottom. Lastly is a picture of the old walk way behind the mansion. The bricks start in the middle of the walk way and then start to go down hill which suggest that it has been eroding for quite some time. As you go farther down the walkway bricks start to disappear and then it just becomes all dirt. Can't wait for it all to be snow.

Block Island Life

These photos were taken at Block Island which is located just off the coast of Point Judith, Rhode Island. Its a beautiful little island with a lot to see for such a small place. Just recently in the past few year more people have been visiting but compared to most other vacation spots its still a small and unknown place. The key to enjoying the island is willing to go out on adventure. Almost all photos posted about the island were not easy to get to, some easier than others. When you do go off the beaten trail and to a place where many do not venture you can find some amazing things that many miss.

Southern Vermont College

These two photos were taken on Southern Vermont College campus. The lower field just below the mansion where classes take place is full of the large bails of grass. Above the mansion is another field but this time nothing is mowed except one little trail to the woods. Along the trail is nothing but naturally occurring flowers and milk weeds.
