It’s amazing how the time flies when your having fun and this week has been a blast! We spent our last morning shoot at Jenne Farm… one of the most lovely spots in all of Vermont. Having photographed Jenne Farm on numerous occasions I wanted to come back with something different than what I already had so out camet eh infrared camera…
And then I went to work on a pano…
We headed to Wookstock for our evening shoot. Talk about classic Americana. Once again, I was in the mood for something different so I prowled the alleyways in search of a photograph and found this one…
As DLWS #30 comes to a close I have new images in my files and new friends from a great group of people whose enthusiasm helps to drive me to keep pushing the envelope.

Day two of DLWS Vermont dawned with a distinct nip in the air. This is a good thing as the cold stimulates the colors to keep turning. We began the day at the Summer Home of Calvin Coolidge where the photo opps abounded. There was color eveywhere you turned…
The old barns with it’s great charachter is a big draw and when the sun rose and backlit the trees a panorama felt right….
As we were leaving we met a wonderful gentleman who lovingly cared for the grounds and he graciously posed for a photograph…
The afternoon found us back at Middleton Springs where we photographed the classic Vermont shot with the steeple peaking through the fall color followed by a visit to the town cemetery. As I was headed to the cemetery I saw the church steeple reflected in the side of Mobe Dick (the staff van)…
The cemetery dates back to the late 1700′s…

We began our day with the hoped for fog at Sleepy Hollow…
Throughout High Noon we heard the rain and hail pounding the roof but, when we emerged to head out to Weston for our afternoon shoot the weather had cleared. Weston is home to some great fudge and a really cool grist mill. I have been fasinated by the waterfall that flows over the dam and wanted to do something a bit different this trip so I shot a three image pano and finished it with NIK filters.
I can hardly wait to see what tomorrow brings!

The DLWS staff spent the day scouting locations for our event this week in Vermont. We began our day with the famous Jenne Farm…
We then moved on to Weston home of Julie’s delicious fudge and cheese…and a really cool grist mill.
Along the way to our next location we stopped to photograph an old church but, it was the old barn side that caught my attention.
What’s a visit to Vermont without a church steeple peeking out from the fall color…
A final stop at Quechee Gorge.
All in all an amazing day. We can’t wait to share it all with our DLWS group.
Be sure to log on to the rest of the DLWS staff blogs to follow the fun…Moose, Joe & Kevin!

We hosted our first DLWS Vermont in 2004 and the locals told us you need to be here two weeks later for the fall color. So, in 2006 we came two weeks later and were told “You should have been here two weeks ago.” So, this year we split the date and came right in the middle and guess what we found….Color!, Glorious color!
Vermont in the fall…there is a bite in the air, a sweet smell of the sugar shacks cooking up some delicious maple syrup and the fall color that Vermont is so famous for.
At one of our stops a curious cow with a crazy do came up to check us out. So, I photographed him. (OK, it’s a bull but that did not rhyme)
