Waterfall, Weston, VT

It occurred to me – after I spent the greater part of an hour photographing here – that the experience was as much about the sound as the sight of the falls. Here’s a little taste, taken with the light fading fast.

I’ve stayed away from making videos (and coming up to speed with video editing software), so my apologies for the lack of fade in/out here.

GET THEE OUT TO A RIVER!!!

It’s likely that Vermont farmers had three mowings this year, maybe four. This was a field about a week before a hard frost set in.

The water at Cedar Lake is still warm enough for swimming, and I joined a few other souls there this past week – a couple of times actually – the first for me this year. In the next few weeks, these leaves will be falling, and the smell of wood smoke will be wafting over from a nearby camp – signs the season is drawing to a close.

An end of the day photo taken in the early 80’s, when I spent six weeks working at Shelburne Orchards in MA. It looks like we were picking Red Delicious at the time, though MacIntosh was probably the largest variety by volume. Some of the tools of the trade are at the top: the kidney-shaped picking bag, and a big jug of water, replenished regularly through the day, particularly when it was warm and sunny.

The photo was probably taken with the aforementioned (9/12/18 post) Sigma 18-200mm telephoto lens – see the curved side of the bin? It was truly wonderful but hard work, and in retrospect, i can say the wages were but the icing on the cake.
