We complain a fair amount about leaf peepers here in New England. This time of year, the traffic gets heavier,
people drive like maniacs and there are more busses on the road. Getting from point A to point B can sometimes
be challenging. Even so, Greg and I are
not above doing a little leaf peeping ourselves. In truth, it was our plan to load Olive, the
pug, into the car and to drive up into southern Vermont this weekend to see how
the leaves are changing there, but things conspired against us and we never
made it. So yesterday, even though the
weather was a bit overcast, we went ahead and did a short tour of Vermont.
Starting out here in south central Massachusetts,
the day was pretty nice. The sky was
mostly blue but the leaves are quite a way from being at peak.
Still even here, now and then, we saw patches of
true autumn color.
As we traveled north and west, the sky got more
and more overcast, but the leaves were more and more colorful.
Of course, it is my humble opinion that Vermont
is the most beautiful place in this country no matter what the time of year,
but in the fall, it has beauty that is beyond words.
Driving around staring at all that color makes
one a bit peckish, so as we were heading home, we pulled into a little place that sold ice cream and each
had a small cone. This is what a pug
looks like when she thinks that she deserves a lick of your ice cream. She can hold that pose for quite a while.
It was a nice day in spite of the less than
stellar weather.
I just love this time
of year!

Awesome drive. that house gave me the heebie jeebies, love the house and the color, but Wow... looks like it might fall down that hill., probably been there 100 years. LOL

Oh. My. Stars. I am in awe. This is one of the places on my bucket list to visit during autumn. These are simply phenomenal shots!!!
OOh, my, just such a beautiful area...you got some great captures.
We had a house in VT while our kids were growing up. It is a beautiful, scenic state as your photos prove. I know ice cream isn't good for dogs, but who can resist that face?
Oh Wow! The scenery is just stunning! I love the old house sitting on the edge of the hill. I can't believe the gorgeous colours and I do think a cloudy day brings out the colour more. Sweet pic of Olive.
Hmmm...perhaps I can talk the Pres into a road trip???? Awesome color you found!...:)JP

haha love the shot of olive! wow, beautiful photos and i especially love the one with the old house on the hill...what a beautiful day you had!
Oh how truly beautiful. I would "love" to see this in real life. Although I did once in Virgina/Georgia back in 1998 and it's a sight to behold.
That shot with the cabin/house is really cool.
Also loved seeing Olive again, she's adorable.
I love the colours this time of year. Do beautiful!
