Olivia and I took pictures at the Flower and Bulb show at Smith College. Can you tell who took what?

There are more pictures to share, but I’ve hit my upload limit on flickr for the month, so it will have to wait.

Connecticut River – Holyoke, MA Originally uploaded by sagefire.

Just some shots I took while walking beside the river. Good thing I had my camera with me 🙂

I took this a few years ago at Twilight Covening . I won’t be at Rites of Spring this year. So, call me nostalgic, but I needed to see that lake right now. I miss it.
