AND TONIGHT, THE STORM – Marilyn & Garry Armstrong

FOTD – October 27, 2018 – Autumn Leaves We had a beautiful sunny day today and whatever Autumn we are getting this year, I think this was the last day of it. Tonight, tomorrow, and possibly for the two following days, we're getting a nor'easter. Not snow (phew), but lots of rain and wind and more … Continue reading AND TONIGHT, THE STORM – Marilyn & Garry Armstrong

ANOTHER CHILLY, RAINY DAY IN THE VALLEY – Marilyn Armstrong

It's supposed to be better tomorrow. It's always supposed to be better tomorrow, especially if you had photographic plans for today. At least it isn't pouring. It's just drippy and grey and muddy. We went to the doctor yesterday and I noticed that now, many trees have changed color and if we can just get … Continue reading ANOTHER CHILLY, RAINY DAY IN THE VALLEY – Marilyn Armstrong

ANY WHICH WAY – Garry Armstrong

Which Way Challenge: October 1, 2018 We found a place we thought we'd lost this week. What a great feeling to not be lost for a change! We took a lot of pictures and we will take more tomorrow because it probably won't rain. Which would be great since it has been raining all week. And … Continue reading ANY WHICH WAY – Garry Armstrong

ROSY MANCHAUG – By Marilyn Armstrong

Rosy Manchaug Although we usually photograph the dam in Manchaug, the area is known for it's rather large and deep pond and an annual rubber duck race held there. From the pond come a lot of streams, not all of which have names. They don't run long distances, either ... which is perhaps why they … Continue reading ROSY MANCHAUG – By Marilyn Armstrong

ROSY ROCKS AT MANCHAUG – By Marilyn Armstrong

Rosy Rocks by the Dam at Manchaug Garry and I have no sense of direction. Manchaug used to be a town, but it didn't have enough income to keep itself going, so it parceled itself out to Douglas and Sutton. Maybe Uxbridge too, but I'm not sure about that. Thing is, the river that runs … Continue reading ROSY ROCKS AT MANCHAUG – By Marilyn Armstrong

MANCHAUG DAM – JUNE 2015

Each year, it's different. Everything depends how much rain we get in the spring rainfall as well as the amount of snow that melts after the winter. When we are not having a drought, the dam will have a strong waterfall. Manchaug is at its most magnificent when we've had plenty of rain. I haven't seen the dam at full strength … Continue reading MANCHAUG DAM – JUNE 2015

MANCHAUG D-DAY 2015

June 6th came and went and there was nothing in the news, nothing on television, nothing on Facebook. I guess remembering D-Day is a bit too old-fashioned for modern media. The next day, when we went to Manchaug, we were happy to discover at least one place remembers the day. The flags were flying. Memorials were decorated … Continue reading MANCHAUG D-DAY 2015
