PHOTOS OF THE WEEK
- The early April snow on Monday does not seem to discourage these winter aconite in a Weybridge garden. Who remembers the snowfall a few days before the April 8 solar eclipse two years ago? Four days later we were all outside, no coats, staring up at the moon dancing across the face of the sun. Photo by Susan Humphrey
- The Mt. Abraham playing fields have been busy as the Eagle spring sports teams shape up and tune up for competitions. Just outside the Bristol school building last week, a boys’ lacrosse goalie faces a barrage of shots, which he stops methodically. Eagle boys’ lacrosse opens play with a home game against Burlington on Friday, April 17, at 4:30 p.m.
- Snow rangers Camila Nulsen (age 9), left, and Natalia Nulsen (age 5) of East Middlebury took advantage of a few fresh inches of snow that fell at the Middlebury Snowbowl early this week by hiking to the top of the Sheehan lift and snowboarding down. Their dad, Dave, said they were pretty much floating on the snow the whole time and loved it. Photo courtesy of Dave Nulsen
- Poet Emily Dickinson used the phoebe as a metaphor for the modest and nondescript; “the little note that others dropt.” But this phoebe aspires to more by singing to the morning in its stylish waistcoat of brown feathers. Photo by Dale Cockrell
