Beaver Pond, Kinsman Notch NH

I'm home after an incredible week up North shoting the Fall Foliage. The colors this year up in the NEK of Vermont are nothing less than spectacular.

My vacation got off to a very rocky start, (won't go into details but I almost wasn't sure if I was even going to go or not.) Last minute major hiccup! But......I went. These two images are the very first images I took of the week. My plan was to stop at Beaver Pond in Kinsman Notch NH on the drive up to VT. The area was socked in with deep fog and low clouds. I almost didn't get off the exit because I felt it would be a waste of time.
Divine intervention took place. As I approached the pond a beam of light broke through the clouds. It only lasted for less than a minute and just like that it was gone. Photography is often times a spiritual experience for me. I felt the presence of God at this particular moment........and I heard God telling me that everything was going to be ok.
And it was.

And the best was yet to come over the following days...........

Porcupine

I'm movin' on down the road.....just like this guy that I shot last weekend in VT.

I'll be back in a week. If I get a chance I'll put a blog post up. Otherwise, I'll post when I get home.

Wheeler Pond Barton VT

Early colors were found along Wheeler Pond in Barton this past weekend. I'm so looking forward to visiting this beautiful spot next week, when the foliage hopefully will be peak.

Franconia Notch NH

I was pretty surprised to see that Franconia Notch was still mostly green when I was up there this weekend. Hopefully the cold temps from the past couple of nights will help the Fall colors to come along. Here is just a little sample of some color that I saw going through the Notch.

Orne Covered Bridge Coventry VT

Had a wonderful weekend up in the NEK of Vermont. The foliage is a little late this year, but it is coming along nicely in some parts of the NEK.

I visited the Orne Covered Bridge in Coventry on Saturday. It's a pretty covered bridge with a red barn positioned across from it.......makes a lovely composition for photography.

Patriots go 3 and 0 without Tom Brady

It's wonderful to be a New England Patriots Fan. That's all I have to say today. This ten day old linebacker is lucky to have been born in Patriots Nation.

Life is better when you are with your Grandchildren. I'll be seeing Henry later on today as well. I'm off to go to Dads right now. I'm looking forward to my Henry Fix on the way home. :-) It was wonderful to see these two cuties last night.

Ricker Pond VT

Happy First Day of Fall!!! 

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Today is a new day, and I am feeling a little better. Sorry for wigging out yesterday. Sometimes putting your feelings into writing helps you to sort them out I think.

 This is an image I made two years ago at Ricker Pond in VT. I'm so looking forward to seeing the Fall colors this year and to get away from the realities of everyday life for a while.
