Saphouse Adventures 2016

2016 has been a wild and crazy Maple Adventure Year for me. I have visited many farms, most of them open, and have taken an abundance of photos.  The intention is to do individual posts on some of these farms and other adventures, but here is a quick overview of the farms themselves.

I bought my first digital camera when I was working among the Redwoods in California. I chronicled my many explorations during my trips down the west coast and while driving across the United States. I love photography – to be able to tell stories with pictures. I shoot with whatever camera I have at the time. I have been pleased with a number of Kodak EasyShares, have shot Canon and currently am working with Nikon and Ricoh (waterproof and macro) In 2009 I walked into my first Sugar House. The sweet smell permeated my brain and got into my blood. The science and beauty of Maple has been a passion ever since.
