Our home, the side yard. That's our house on the left, the top of sailboat (Why Not III) with mast, too.
Abby, road.
This brook north of the town of Sherman, CT was renamed in 2001, back to the original native american "Naromiyocknowhusunkatankshunk", which means "water flowing down the hill".
North of Sherman.
Same area, a large dairy farm.
Different angle, with a fountain.

Driving north near Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Just wanted a view of the highway.

More from the same stop.
Hills, corn field, pumpkin patch, same stop as prior picture.
Same stop, but looking across the highway to the west. More pumpkins. Hills glowing orange.

Panorama from the same spot.
Detail from the same spot.
More hills in southern Vermont.

More...
and more.
Still more, or possibly the same trees. Oh well.
Robert Frost and family grave site.
Different view.
Another view.

Stone House. Robert Frost lived here from 1921 to 1929, wrote "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" here.
Sharon and Jo crossing the grass, west of the Stone House.
An old snow apple tree that was part of Frost's old orchard, still full of apples, we tried a bite.
Jo posing under the apple tree.
Another nice old new england barn.
Roadside scenery between Bennington VT and the NY state line.
Nice neighborhood color on a maple tree.
This scene beside the road just after we crossed into NY on Rte 9 was attracting dozens of photographers.
One worries that they haven't caught just the right photo... so there's a tendency to take a few extras, "just in case"
Nicer ? Or is it just the same ?
I love the reflection in the pond.
Still love it.
Yup I think I have this now.
The sun was dropping fast as we approached Brunswick, NY. But there were still some colors we weren't sure we'd seen. Nice contrast - too bad about the power lines.
