Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper 2013: July 27

I love the blue glow in the sky at dusk, contrasted with the warm orange glow of the campfire.

I am smitten with the walk in tent sites at this park.  Especially because they have a group campfire pit surrounded by benches!  

Here's a shot I snapped from my campsite, looking back at the warm glow from the fire...

Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper: July 28th

I'm seeing lots of hits on the 'ole blog from folks looking for some info on this year's Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper.


From what I have scraped online, it looks like it is held on the last Saturday in July.  For 2012, that is July 28th.


Hope this info helps!


Here's a video I shot with my old point and shoot (apologies for the quality), showing the salmon cooking in front of the open fire.  Yummah!

Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper 2011

I've been seeing some hits on the 'ole blog, looking for the date of this year's planked salmon supper in Greenfield.

Looks like it's July 30th, judging by this post on Destination Southwest Nova's site.

Check out my review of this supper, back in 2007. I would be shocked if anything has changed...

...I finally took some shots of this tiny, roadside graveyard on rt. 8:

What's on This Weekend? Planked Salmon Supper!

HOLY CRAP>>>>UPDATE!!

Woah, almost dropped the ball on this one! This Saturday is the Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper, bwa!?!

Check out a review from a couple years ago here.

Here's a video of the salmon being cooked by the fire.

Looks like it's going to be a wet one tomorrow, you might have to wait in your car to get seated...also means that you probably won't be able to eat outside down by the river :-(

Luscious Lupins, Invincible Irises

I've been hunting for a nice patch of lupins to shoot, spotted this one in a fallow field in Baker Settlement:







Later this weekend, I spotted two patches of wild irises (?) in North Brookfield...or is it South Brookfield? I can never keep the two straight...

Shots didn't turn out as I had hoped, too bad I don't have mad curves/levels adjustment skillz...yet! Mostly the ones in the swamped, tried bumping up the contrast a little but...meh.
