Snows

 

Sunset over the Bridge Street Cemetery in Northampton. 

 

Snowpiles in front of the Tunic Cafe make it so you can't even see across the street.

I'm intrigued by these pay phone images someone has been putting up on the UMass campus. 

 

 

Most college students today are too young to have ever used a pay phone. So what's the point? To confuse them with an incomprehensible image?

 

The frozen solid campus pond at UMass leaves the small number of ducks who failed to fly south last fall trapped in this small unfrozen section.

Because people bring their kids to feed the ducks every day in warmer weather, some of the ducks become completely dependent upon the free food and forget their natural self-supporting ways. 

Call them the welfare ducks. 

 

Legendary photographer Paul Shoul captured this image of the embarrassingly large crowd that showed up at Northampton's First Church last weekend to hear congress-critter Jim McGovern whine about Trump and Musk. 

 

 

Know what's even more embarrassing? The number of audience members wearing masks.
