What Surrounds Us:  Photos from the First Day of Fall

It was a bright, beautiful, cool day, wedged nicely between some warm but wet weather, and a chill overcast the day after.  ...  It was the first of Fall.  The leaves hadn't yet quite turned the corner into color.  The ridgeline was coming along.  But even there, it still had a ways to go before one might get that sense of being in a 3-D stained glass scene.

Partly in celebration of the day, and partly out of curiosity, we decided to take a tour of the Valley to see what we might find.  The intention was to scoot around, from one town to another, pick out a few of the local landmarks {or, in fact, anything that caught our eye}, snap a photo, and move on.  And that's exactly what we did.  ...  It wasn't the most efficient tour we ever took.  But what follows are some of the results.

We left Bristol in the mid-afternoon and ran up 116, past Starksboro.  ...

When we got into Hinesburg and saw the Cedar Knoll Golf  Course, it reminded us of one of our Farm & Garden features ... on the estate tax and its impact on family farms.  ...

Just up 116, we got onto the North Road and drove all the way into Richmond.

At first, we were tempted to photograph the bridge.  But the sun seemed to be hitting the Old Round Church just right, so we couldn't resist.

From Richmond, we went up the road to Huntington ... through the village ... and out up to the Hollow Road.

The view of Camel's Hump is definitely impressive.

We drove down the Hollow Road back into Hinesburg, into the village, and hung a left onto the road to Charlotte.  ...  At the Carse Farm, we came upon this young guy, in the shade of an old apple tree.  Up the road, we could hear the whine of a chain saw going full tilt.  Some folks were taking down the posts and beams of an old barn.  ...
