This winter, we have experienced record breaking freezing temperatures. Cold should be respected, as it can easily harm us. Yet if it is properly mitigated by dressing appropriately, you can have a lot of fun. Winter is a gorgeous season, but this beauty is far more subtle. I noticed it as I made my way around the silent expanses of the Frost Farm. The light fluffy snow gave way easily under the snowshoes. Ice and frost clung to the window panes in beautiful patterns. At first the sun peaked weakly through the clouds. Only when I left did the sky begin to clear, revealing small patches of pale sky. I have always noticed we only get vivid blue skies on cold February days.

One of the original collections of Frost materials, which he personally helped compile, is held in the Special Collections department of the Jones Library in Amherst, Massachusetts. The collection consists of approximately twelve thousand items, including original manuscript poems and letters, correspondence, photographs, and audio and visual recordings.[29] The Archives and Special Collections at Amherst College holds a small collection of his papers. The University of Michigan Library holds the Robert Frost Family Collection of manuscripts, photographs, printed items, and artwork.[30] The most significant collection of Frost's working manuscripts is held by Dartmouth.

From the rusted mailbox to the chairs on the porch, nothing represents rural America better than this classic New England homestead. If you're a New England travel photographer, you should have a couple homestead photos in your image archive; they are excellent representations of old New England.

Both Robert Frost and Wallace Stevens are monumental poets. Mr. Frost, as a rule, was not a drinker of alcohol. What a photograph of two of our most remarkable bards. I have seen it before, and have long admired it- as I admire their, albeit dissimilar, work. Thank you for this article, and for all of the interesting comments.
The simple stone and timber house hasn't changed much since then. The museum has displayed photographs of Frost and his family, a facsimile of the "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" manuscript and woodcuts by artist J.J. Lankes, who illustrated Frost's books. The house now has Frost quotations painted on some walls, including his epitaph, "I had a lover's quarrel with the world," from his tombstone where he is buried in the First Congregational Church cemetery in nearby Bennington.
"We think it's really important to preserve the historic landscape and that connection between the landscape and the work it inspired. Because it's so articulated here," said Bergman, who also teaches literature at Bennington, which is incorporating the museum into students' education. Some students have created a three-dimensional visual of the property using photography, surveying and mapping tools and Frost's desk objects.
"We want to be involved with the community and we want to be involved with supporting the arts and talking about poetry and making poetry accessible," said Bergman. "We live in a rural, slightly economically depressed community. It's important, I think, to make poetry and the arts accessible."
