All Around The Barnyard, an art show of 25 photographs, is coming to the end of its six-month run at the Vermont Agency of Agriculture's offices at 109 State Street in Montpelier. The work reflects the book work I've done on farms in Vermont, published in six books. The show will be coming down later in December. If you can't make it to Montpelier, a similar show is up at the offices of the Windsor County State's Attorney in White River Junction, Vt.
In the photograph above, Governor Jim Douglas enjoys an ice cream cone while talking with Deputy Secretary for Development Anson Tebbetts at the show's opening in July.

A Columbian Wyandotte hen scratches for seeds, insects and pebbles in the woods behind the chicken coop on Carrie Maynard's property in South Royalton, Vt. Chocolate — a Quarter Horse — doesn't mind the light snow falling on a winter morning in Anne Adams' pasture in Strafford, Vt.
