quarry swimming

Dorset, VT is famous for being home to America's oldest marble quarry.

We went to the quarry today and watched all the brave ones jump. Even our two 10 year old girls jumped from a height that I wouldn't. The water is cold but not as cold as our own pond out back that is fed by a mountain stream.

make the picture LARGE and see the small boy doing a flip from way up high.

It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious.
