Our Thanksgiving Storm
For those who may have not gotten out that day, these shots were taken on 28 November at 7:30 a.m. We only received 5" or so, but it was wet and heavy and created havoc with downed power lines, limbs and even a transformer fire in the village.
Out the door with my camera.

And the next day, 29 November, under bright blue skies, the Amherst "Turkey Trot"got underway.
Two races, one a 5 kilometer run/walk and a one mile "fun run" attracted nearly 130 participants as they wound there way through beautiful Amherst Village.
The flag dropped and the 5K race is off and running.
This is the 15th annual race organized by the Amherst Junior Womens Club.
