Charlotte VT

During my trip to VT last month, we spent one day over in Western VT. I typically spend most of my time in The Northeast and Central areas of the State. In fact, I have only been out West in the Champlain Valley on one other occasion.

I met up with my good friend BM (who lives in that area) and her adorable son. After a wonderful lunch, BM took us around to show us some of her favorite places in the area.

This is a beautiful barn that we stopped to photograph that is located on Pringle Road in Charlotte. I loved the Spring "feel" to this.

Here is The Seguin Bridge, also located in the town of Charlotte.

The best part of this bridge to me, is that there is a working mailbox in the bridge, where somebody actually gets their daily mail delivered. I LOVE the whole simple country life feel of this little mailbox. To me, it's like a step back in time to simpler days........and one of the many reasons that I love Vermont so much.

We stopped to photograph this gorgeous field of Spring flowering trees.

And some horses.

We then made our way over to The Charlotte Town Beach. This is a simple covered bridge on the road where the beach begins.

BM and her son checking out the view at the beach. The mountains across the water (which is Lake Champlain by the way) are the Adirondack Mountains in New York State......better known as

"The Dacks" by the locals.

A Panorama image I made stitching 10 single images together of the beach.

It was such a fun day, and I'm planning on spending more time exploring the Champlain Valley during future visits to VT.
