My turn to ride!

This last weekend, Joerg and I completed our motorcycle training class for a license endorsement. Now that the class is over and we are officially legal we are on the hunt for motorcycles.

Our first purchase is this 2002 BMW R1150R. That's a lot of letters and numbers, but basically it's a nicely powered motorcycle that I can handle and that makes Joerg all goofy. No kidding, he's like a kid with a new toy. However, THIS toy he has to SHARE with his WIFE...until we get bike #2.

Invaders!

Little Rewards

Since a large chunk of our business is based in Middlebury, there are periods of time where I find myself frequently on the road. While I'm driving, I will occasionally encounter a view that just begs to be photographed, but I am usually without a camera or short on time.

Today was both, but I couldn't resist pulling out my cell phone to capture this shot.

Ausable Chasm, New York

As a family outing, we took the ferry from Burlington Vermont to Plattsburgh New York for a day at Ausable Chasm. It's mostly wet activities so I don't have that many pictures of the day, but as we were leaving the park I was able to stop and capture some images of the falls. This is one of my favorites. (Imagine this picture in full fall foliage glory!)
