We say Goodbye to our Ole Woodsman |
|
|
Our Woodsman's last column is quite appropriate. Read about the history of Millbury and our Village right here. |
In the Ole Woodsman's column you've read interesting facts from 'the Ole Woodsman'. For almost a year and a half, we have enjoyed these wise writings and you did not know who wrote them. Many suspected it was Lennie ;) At this time, we sadly say goodbye to our Ole Woodsman. We have been honored to have Jan McLaughlin provide us with this column. Jan has always been a vocal advocate of our land and her passion and love for our village has caused interesting ripples here over the years. She will be dearly missed by me and others. We hope she will continue to send us her thoughts from her new home in a brand new environment. Thank you Jan. Go with our prayers and loving wishes. |

Excerpt
from "Birding in Eastham, Cape
Cod" Deciding I needed to come back at sunrise to this spot, I proceeded back to the beach. There are cliffs to the water. Descending the stairs to the beach, there were promising compositions with the cliffs, beach and ocean waves breaking on the beach. One, in particular, almost has a painterly effect as I looked at it afterwards. The water marks on the sand, people in the shot, and other elements worked. For this shot, I applied a Photoshop Watercolor filter and adjusted the curves. To read the rest of this article and view some pretty neat pictures...almost stumbled on a bunny for example... click here. |
"This
will be my last column as I will be moving to an
entirely new state soon. I have enjoyed writing
this column, and doing the research. Even though I
will be leaving New England entirely, I will
always be a “Swamp Yankee” (Connecticut
Yankee) in my heart and will probably return to
the area in some future time. It is time for new
adventures, new experiences and new opportunities.
I wish everyone in the village well "- Jan
McLaughlin (aka Old Woodsman).
