Scenes of Vermont Forums

Carol: You have written a very heartfelt tribute to Stephen Huneck. Consider yourself very fortunate to have met him in person and to have had a personal conversation with him about your dogs. You have visited there often and now have a lot of memories of the Chapel. I know from what you have previo...

Greetings Scenes of Vermont Foliage Viewers and Happy New Year!! Around this time last year the SOV Reunion Thread began to take shape and at last look, had nearly 15,000 views! :shock: So here we go again! Albeit early, it is never too soon to start tossing about vacation requests, perusing lodgin...

As I sit here on this beautiful snowy, New England winter wonderland evening, complete with December's full Blue Moon, waiting for 2010 to arrive, I can't help but reflect on the wonderful autumn trips we all had in our beloved Vermont in 2009. It was evident from the very high number of photography...

Getting back to the full moon..... :roll: Here is a photo of the December Blue Moon over Camel's Hump courtesy of Burlington Free Press today, 12/31/09. It gives a great description of what a "blue moon" really is. We had two in December! Great photo of the full moon in Vermont! Howl! Howl! Howl! :w...

I'm game but Thelma has been having serious second thoughts :!: :P We'd be gone five days with Brad; think you can handle that amount of time Andy? :lol: GEEZ: I was going to take Brad to Sunday Brook Farm and show him where your Uncle's famous maple syrup was made too and then to Cold Hollow to buy...

How will I break the bad news to Brad? He was so looking forward to leaf-peeping. There's hardly any maple trees in LA!

There goes his maple syrup and pancakes....................

Hi Carol/Thelma: Oh, I forgot to mention, I emailed Brad and asked him to join us at the inn. He responded by saying that he's never been to Vermont and wants to join the road trip! He wants to experience foliage heaven firsthand! Can you believe it? This is going to be quite an adventure! Hope you ...

How did Brad Pitt ever become involved in my 2010 foliage post? :? To get back on track......... Andy : The only 2 roads in VT that I personally won't drive are the Lincoln Gap (I was a passenger once, that was enough :P ) and the Burke Mountain Toll Road. I put that on my adventure list for October...

Carol/Abby/Thelma: Just want to warn you, drama is my middle name. I've been known to push the envelope on the side of adventure, so be prepared. You are truly in for a road trip of a lifetime! Fasten your seatbelt. :twisted: Louise..... :P P.S. Good thing your husband is so patient and accommodatin...

http://www.boston.com/news/local/vermont/articles/2009/12/13/new_englanders_pool_resources_to_save_small_town_icons/ This is a nice read about the town of Putney, Vermont and their general store that has been lost twice to tragedy in recent years. It is an endearing story of how the town folk have b...

Hi Andy! I have enough "white stuff" down here to last through and continue on to March/April. :wink: I've been to VT in winter many times, including stuck in a blizzard on route 7, so yes, I know it's a picturesque place! I need to save my bucks for 12 days in VT this season, and it is going to be ...

As Andy and Carol have woken up the photography forum a bit, I thought I would do the same over here in the foliage forum. Some of the SOV moderators “try” to keep the forums going throughout the off-season. Some of us just never leave. Sigh. :roll: So.... is anyone returning to Vermont next autumn?...

Hey Fax: These photos show the true definition of PRECIOUS !!!! Your daughter is adorable! Thanks for posting! We had quite a nasty mess here today. Heavy, beautiful snow in the a.m. and pure, disgusting slush to follow. All will freeze now. :shock: We are now having a thunderstorm with hail! Gotta ...

Hi Carol: I like the first shot of the town green with the church and gazebo. This is an iconic New England winter scene and as you know, I wrote the SOV blog on town greens awhile back and this blissful setting is one of the reasons I love New England so much. I should say that this shot stands out...

FAX: I enjoyed your photos. Especially the one of your wife and baby. That's a keeper! That is Warren Mountain Road. It's a wonderful drive. Did you take it into Warren or out of Warren. The name changes I think to the Roxbury Mountain Road at some point. I am taking Carol there next fall. Also, the...
