Tapping

One of the first signs of spring around here is when people start tapping maple trees to get their sap which will later be boiled down into maple syrup. When I was a kid, I remember my father tapping the trees around our house for this purpose. These photos were taken three years ago at a farm in Hartland, VT. that my good friend Jeremiah worked at. It was my first time using snowshoes and I took a few falls before getting used to them. Ha!
