Sue Skaskiw of Bridgewater, VT and her cat, Skinny Minnie during a portrait session for my most recent column, "The Cause." Sue is an animal rights activist who founded VVSA (Vermont Volunteer Services for Animals) 30 years ago, and started a low-cost spay and neuter voucher program for dogs and cats.
Yuyu, 11, of Lyme is a sweet young man who was born in China without a forearm. After he was adopted and moved to the US, he suffered a few strokes, but with the help of his parents, sister, and school, has lived a very normal and happy childhood, playing with his two dogs, learning to dance, and finishing his homework.
I was driving around looking for features when I happened upon this brushfire in Hartland, VT. Spot news is not generally a thing you just stumble upon so I was lucky enough to find the fire, and even luckier to be able to photograph it in this kind of light before I was told to go back to the command center of the fire, as the area still wasn't safe. Fortunately, the fire only burned leaves and brush on a three acre wooded lot- no people or buildings were harmed.
