Bartlett Falls on the New Haven River - Bristol, Vermont

In mid-summer the New Haven River can run low, but I took this photo after a heavy rain filled the river. A long-exposure shows the tremendous power of the water going over the falls.

Dawn on a Foggy Morning at Bristol Pond

I got up before dawn and went up the road to Bristol Pond, one of my favorite place nearby. It’s a peaceful, lovely spot. I knew there was going to be some valley fog on this morning and I love the soft quality it brings to a landscape. September 2018

Holley Hall in Bristol on a Fine Autumn Day

I love Bristol’s town hall! It is a striking and iconic anchor in our village. It was built in 1884 for a little over $11,000. It is used by many local organizations as well as for the annual Town Meeting in March.

Winter Sunset Glow on Mt. Abraham

I went to this spot to photograph the full Super Moon which was due to rise shortly after sunset. It was bitter cold…only 5 degrees although not windy. As I was waiting, I saw the mountain light up with the reflected glow of the setting sun. Afterwards, I went to warm up in my car and discovered the car battery had died…one of the hazards of winter photography in Vermont! Luckily, I had just enough cell phone battery to call my husband to rescue me. January 1, 2018 - New Haven Junction, Vermont

Blue Sky Day with Mt. Abraham

Blue Water at Bartlett Falls in Winter

March 2018 - Bristol, Vermont The water was such an amazing color at Bartlett Falls when I clambered up the steep snow-plow bank, strapped on my snowshoes, and made my way through the untracked deep snow to the cliff overlooking the river. It was stunning to see the hidden beauty of the falls in winter. I read later that "Ice only appears blue when it is sufficiently consolidated that bubbles do not interfere with the passage of light. Without the scattering effect of air bubbles, light can penetrate ice undisturbed. In ice, the absorption of light at the red end of the spectrum is six times greater than at the blue end." Now you know!
