Travel Photography in Western Massachusetts

I love travel. I find it so rejuvenating to see new places, get out of my comfort zone and be inspired by the world. Right now I’m in Massachusetts, which is familiar territory. I went to school in Boston. I have friends scattered along the coast and my wonderful Aunt Kathy is here too. She and I spent Wednesday traveling west into the more rural areas of the state where I have not spent much time. We picked apples, met with friends, talked to strangers who are now friends, photographed a new tiny baby boy, wandered the streets of Amherst, stumbled upon farmers markets and I even got to take Kathy on her first geocache! It’s been a wonderful time thus far. Today I visit with one of my best friends from college and tomorrow I’ll be photographing the wedding of another friend. Then Sunday I race to NYC where I will meet up with Drew and two amazing people for a couple more days of fun. I’m feeling pretty blessed right now!

The fruit is so beautiful and plentiful!

red rural barn
Old barns are filled with lovely texture and make great photography backgrounds. Kind of wishing I’d made my Aunt let me take her portrait!

I have a soft spot for farmers markets. They remind me of home in Pennsylvania.
