Hopefully you’ve had a chance to get away at some point this summer and see some beautiful scenery in a favorite spot. Digressing from our usual TWE stories and interviews for a moment, I wanted to share photos of a lovely part of the world–the New England that I grew up in–where I recently spent some vacation time.

It was hot and it was humid (and unfortunately there was no rain as they need it badly), but the sights and sounds of this enchanting destination kept me wanting to point the camera in all directions.
