Cathy Resmer, Seven Days Queen-of-All-Things-Virtual, recently asked me about the lack of pictures of late on the Yo, Hackie! blog. “Tis true, I replied, I haven’t yanked out the camera for quite a while. I do intend to remedy that situation over the winter months. Until then, allow me to present the Best Pics of 2007:

Back in the spring, I had the unique pleasure of interviewing Ollie the camel from Ferrisburgh. Don’t you just love his eyebrows?

Here, gazing down at us from the center of the UVM green, is Ira Allen, Vermont’s hero of the Revolutionary War and founder of the University. Stern looking dude, isn’t he?

What a glorious summer day this was. These are the kayaks you can rent by the hour at Perkins Pier.

This is the Johnson Cold Spring in Johnson Vermont. This is flat-out the best picture I think I’ve ever shot! Just blind luck on my part . . .

What a mug on this guy! Merry Christmas, friends . . .

Got something to say?
