Edgartown News, Middle Road, Chilmark Edition

Day two of fog and gloom, which is no help during these seemingly unending days of uncertainty and social isolation. A bright spot in my day was a drive up to Middle Road, Chilmark, with no particular destination in mind, and half thinking, "Okay, nothing new to photograph up that way, I'm sure; I've seen it all a hundred times," while keeping my mind open.  After spying possible photo opportunities while driving past Brookside Farm, I pulled into the Tiasquam Valley parking lot and took a stroll down Middle Road where I found oxen and attendant humans, and, as an added bonus, I happened upon a flock of baby lambs at Midnight Farm. I absolutely love the freedom the Lumix has afforded me - providing me with an excellent lightweight pro camera that is always with me - a true extension of myself and my therapy at the moment.


Look closely - can you see the little man dancing between the stones?

I loved this cute little feller, one of several of this year's spring lambs that were gamboling about the paddock at Mermaid Farm. Seeing nature continuing to behave normally is reassuring on some kind of subliminal level, I suppose.

Thus dispelling the assumption that these massive animals with the long pointy horns are in any way dangerous.
