It’s been incredible to see Vermonters coming together during this disaster. Here’s Cambridge, VT, where major flooding is occurring on the Lamoille River. #VTflood23

Proud of my friends and former coworkers at the @SBTribune for fighting the good fight today. ✊ #GannettGreed
South Bend News Guild members and supporters gathered downtown as they joined other unionized Gannett newsrooms across the country in a one-day strike Monday, June 5, 2023. @SBNewsGuild has been fighting for a fair contract since February of 2020. tinyurl.com/4rdbwp4x

Clover (my 5yo) said -25 is going to be too cold for Peony (our cow) so she’s bringing her more bedding. #VermontTough

We went from 8-10” snowpack to warm rain and bare ground to a 30+ degree temperature drop and 6 inches of snow in the 24-hour period that was yesterday. Rainbow shot at 4 p.m. yesterday, snow at 10 a.m. today. (Franklin, VT) @NWSBurlington

Four faves from my 11 years as a photojournalist at the @SBTribune. Today is my final day. There were so many awesome trips, Pete's entire mayoral tenure, presidential motorcades, crazy weather, bowl games, March Madness and many people I won't soon forget. So long...

Today’s Blue-Gold game was my final assignment at ND and one of my last for @SBTribune . Next week I’m moving to Vermont. It’s hard to say goodbye to South Bend but one last lap around this familiar place was fun. Photo gallery with @MLCaterina is here: ndinsider.com/picture-galler…

Notre Dame Football returned with a spring practice this morning. It almost seemed planned that we'd have plenty of golden light to work with. My @SBTribune / ND Insider photo gallery: ndinsider.com/picture-galler…
