Peak colors at Lake Dunmore in Addison County, Vermont.
I've been watching this point on the lake for a couple of weeks. Waiting for the colors and watching for good lighting. Today was the day 馃檪
The walk down to the lake is beautiful right now. The trees are changing all over now. This stretch of forest is lots of beech and birch which are mostly yellow plus the pines and hemlock that stay green.
The tree line around this open field has a nice combination of colors. In addition to the rock wall there is the foundation of an old barn in the middle of the field.
I like the way the old rock wall along the edge of the field frames the photo.
This field was recently mowed and cleaned up in preparation for winter.
I like the landscape shots but sometimes there is one tree that deserves its own photo.
Sumac is famous for pretty colors in the fall. This is staghorn sumac with is a large shrub/small tree. Staghorn is common in the New England. Low growing fragrant sumac grows farther south and in the central U.S.
The southern end of the lake is changing but not at peak plus the lighting is more tricky for these shots.
Some color is reflecting back from the lake but the lake is not perfectly flat and again lighting wasn't perfect.
Here is my favorite place on the lake for photos. Always a pretty picture but I'm still waiting for a better fall colors shot 馃
