Vermont’s Autumn Spectacle
I anticipated Vermont’s famous fall foliage this year with great excitement, not having seen it from beginning to end in twenty-seven years, and my high expectations were fully met. Growing up in Vermont autumn never ceased to amaze me. Sure, some years are more spectacular than others, but to my eyes it was never less than amazing.
Now, as a nature photographer who is increasingly focused on landscapes, this autumn in central Vermont was a fantastic opportunity to practice my craft and build my portfolio. Fortunately I was able to dedicate many hours on many days to these pursuits. Where last month’s post saw me saying “good enough” to many images in order share some of my summer’s birding highlights, this month I am show you examples of what I consider to be some of my best work. Taste is subjective, of course, and I know that some of you enjoy my wildlife photography more than my landscapes. I also know that for some it is the opposite. Regardless of where you fall on that taste spectrum I appreciate your time and attention. I hope that at the least you find beauty in these pictures, and that perhaps you will even glimpse some of the wonder and awe that I felt while making them.
