As a relative newcomer to New England, I used my book-writing travels to explore the region in its entirety.\u00c2\u00a0 I was often struck by the contrasting landscapes that I would encounter.\u00c2\u00a0 On one hand, wild, untamed cliffs that drop steeply into the raging ocean below…on the other hand, manicured gardens, and farms, carefully tended.\u00c2\u00a0 I am always amazed at how we can cultivate this rugged land, not only to grow food, but to grow gardens dedicated to beauty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I suppose that when most people think of New England, they think of the coast- and indeed, the coastal land is truly stunning, and most definitely a defining feature of the region.\u00c2\u00a0 But, there is so much more to this area of the county, including mountains, lakes, meadows and pastures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I especially found such beauty in the rural images that I captured.\u00c2\u00a0 Centuries old farmhouses, still standing the test of time.\u00c2\u00a0 Stone walls, covered with moss, weaving through the countryside.\u00c2\u00a0 Cold-frames and greenhouses, erected to grow sustenance during the brutal winter months.\u00c2\u00a0 To me…these images encapsulate the ‘real New England,’ and pay tribute to the hearty people that choose to call this place their home.<\/p>\n
