Beautiful Fall Foliage Colors in and around Stowe, Vermont, USA

Incredible Fall colors during peak foliage season here in Vermont

Abbey Pond is a beautiful fall colors hike. Abbey Pond is wilderness mountain pond near Middlebury, Vermont. The hike to the lake is a little over 2 miles with about 1200 feet elevation gain.

We stopped at a couple of farmer's markets today in Vermont. Another lovely Fall day with blue skies and sunny. The emphasis at both these markets was Fall decor.

So impressed watching my kids tackle this huge 7 mile, 2,500ft elevation gain hike to the summit of Camel’s Hump!

I truly love the connections I have with my Ecencial fiends! I made a post a week ago about being out on the balcony with photos of Busek and included a photo of some tasty cider. @steven-patrick commented

Yesterday we hiked back up to Silver Lake. This time we took the most direct route. 1.5 miles up from the parking lot on the shore of Lake Dunmore with about 730 feet of elevation gain.

Its been raining in Vermont. I took a few photos of one of my apple trees between the storms. This is a Liberty apple tree planted in November 2021.

We got out for a hike this morning. Great Vermont summer day. Relatively low humidity, 57F this morning with a high of 81F. Hiked up to Silver Lake and back.

Here are some current photos of flowers in our flower beds. I was out watering my young trees today (which is essentially a too long series of 5 minute timers 🙄) and I took some time to photograph flowers.

Monarch butterflies are out in Vermont 🙂 I got a few photos of a Monarch and a bee.

Lovely day in Vermont. Our neighbor offered to let us pick some of his raspberries. We picked 4 and half pints.

Time for a retrospective. One photo for each month for one year. Actually pretty much the same photo (view) each month.

Greetings from a lovely day in Vermont. Smoke cleared out and both humidity and temperatures dropped. It got down to 51F last night 🙂

Got a great shot of this great blue heron by the outlet of the lake. He has been hanging around in the shallows and on the docks. Another exciting shot of a fledgling barred owl.

I'm obsessing over our flowers lately. These are coneflowers. I really liked this photo. So many coneflowers in different stages, it seemed almost like a collage.

Our relatively mild and wet spring has got the garden off to a good start. Now we could use a little rain to go with the summer heat.

The summer passes so quickly. We are finally having some nice Vermont days. 50F's at night and 70F's during the day. Windows open all day and night. Really pleasant.

Time for some lake pictures 🙂 Seven days of life at Lake Dunmore. And a little American history...

Summer has officially begun. I have a few photos from the last week or so. Starting with an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. And a Spicebush Swallowtail.
