Summary
We left Vermont nearly two weeks ago, and I’m just now starting to get caught up here.
wading and boulder hopping in the Winooski River
.
picking wild berries
.
the jewel greens of mosses and ferns in the forest
.
chasing and (rarely) catching frogs and snakes
.
the susurration of wind in the trees
.
swimming in a cold lake on a hot sunny day
.
eating lots of maple ice cream
.
a campfire on the beach
.
carpets of pine needles on forest floors
.
seeing the amazing night sky*, including the Milky Way and shooting stars during the Perseids
.
walking along the top of Vermont
.
spotting hummingbirds and herons
.
kayaking and canoeing on the lake
.
Queen Anne’s lace everywhere
.
eating a picnic lunch at the bottom of a cliff bordering Lake Champlain
.
the beaver lake and dam down the dirt road from our cabin
.
visiting the place where we got married
.
We built a lot of great memories this year. We are already looking forward to next year’s trip.

Wonderful pictures!
Lovely. I hope we get to go back there someday.
Wow. Your pictures are truly, truly beautiful.
I particularly love the one with the berries in the hand. Fabulous light.
Mmmm, susurration. Ya learned me a new ‘un there, ma’am. Thankey!
Isn’t it great when a word sounds like what it means?
Sounds and looks like a lovely time!
