One of Barb and Ekk’s horses.

Two of a friend’s greyhounds. Greyhounds learn to exude pathos at an early age. There was meat on a grill about five feet away.

They can go from being “so hungry they can’t stand” to alert in about half a second.

And back.

This is the first of my series of Gratuitous Vermont pictures.

See what I mean?

Just to the right of the edge of the picture is a modern light. I made sure that wasn't included.

Gratuitous Vermont pictures can‘t have modern stuff. The house I am shooting here has DSL and clothes washers and stuff, but I can‘t show that.
