05.05.2022 Small but Impactful

Posted on May 5, 2022 by Steve Gingold

Rainy day here in Western Massachusetts. And I’m still in a Tryptophan stupor from yesterday’s gorge. Been napping with Bentley much of the day after our usual 2 a.m. nature call for the both of us. After our day of … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Steve Gingold

After spending some time enjoying the rising sun and foliage in North Quabbin, I drove through Shutesbury and down Sand Hill Road. Dean Brook runs alongside and, as you’ve seen before, over a little waterfall that I call Murphy Falls. … Continue reading →

Posted on October 6, 2021 by Steve Gingold
