Moon & Stars, Sunrise & Sunset

Dawn over Camels Hump

Early on a crisp October morning, I went up the mountain to Huntington to catch the sunrise. This colorful sky over Camels Hump made a fine start to the day.

Milky Way & Barn at 2:00 a.m. on the Solstice in Lincoln, Vermont

June 2018 - The night sky had been splendid lately and I vowed to get up and try to capture it on the Solstice. Nights had been chilly lately and it was only 41 degrees this night and hard to get out of my warm bed, but I bundled up and headed to Lincoln to my favorite barn up on the hill. It was breathtakingly beautiful! The only sound was an owl hooting in the distance. It is humbling to gaze at the galaxy and ponder the immensity of it.

Full Snow Moon Rising

I was out looking for a good location to capture the full moon but clouds moved in so I headed home. As I turned in my driveway, I saw the full moon just rising over the top of South Mountain. There's no place like home! Bristol, Vermont - 2021 February

Milky Way & Tree Silhouette

The Milky Way hung in the dark early morning sky as I looked south from my garden towards Elephant Mountain. Bristol, Vermont - August 2019

Golden Hour on Mt Abe

Snow-covered Mt. Abe is quite spectacular lit up by the last, golden light of the day.

Full Flower Moon Setting over Snake Mountain

May 2018 - It was magical seeing the full moon setting just before dawn. The sun had not yet risen but there was enough light to catch soft details in the landscape. This is looking southwest towards Snake Mountain from Maple Street.

Sunset Sky at Dead Creek

One of my favorite places to catch the sunset is at the Dead Creek Wildlife Refuge in Addison. The view towards the Adirondack Mountains and the charismatic trees captivate me in all seasons. Dead Creek, Addison, Vermont -- late October 2014

Supermoon over Bristol, Vermont

In 2016 I was out photographing the Supermoon and as I came back home I saw that the moon was just coming up over Bristol. It was my lucky night to be able to capture it over Main Street!

Supermoon over Green Mountains

This full moon in April rising over the Green Mountains near Bristol was a so-called "Supermoon" which coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a moon that looks larger than usual. Bristol, Vermont

Full Snow Moon

It was bitterly cold as the full moon rose but the moonlight lit up the trees and a ski track in the snow beautifully. January 2020 -- Bristol, Vermont

Vermont Sunset Sky

What a glorious sky as the day ended with sun rays spotlighting this lovely part of the Champlain Valley near Vergennes. I love the broad valley with the mountains rising beyond....and the picturesque barn of the Jackson farm in Panton too. New Haven, Vermont -- July 2019

Comet Neowise Over Dead Creek

After sunset, the last warm afterglow was reflected in the still water and time became timeless as this ancient comet streaked overhead. July 2020 -- Addison, Vermont

Sunset Clouds

These flowing cirrus clouds filled the sky with soft color on a mild April evening at sunset. (Bristol, Vermont - April 2019)

Moonlight in Vermont

This classic, simple Vermont house seemed exceptionally beautiful in the glow of the full moon. New Haven, Vermont -- July 2019

Full Moon & Mars on a Misty Summer Night in Vermont

I caught this dreamy moonscape from outside my back door. Moonlight lit up the wisps of mist in the field and trees, as fireflies sparked here and there, echoing a scattering of stars that were bright enough to show in the glowing moonlit sky. It was breathtaking! Bristol, Vermont

Moonlight in Vermont - December

I looked out on a December night and the glowing moon was cradled by bare tree branches. 2020 December -- Bristol, Vermont

The Road West at Sunset near Addison

Supermoon Rising & Hay Bales

I went out to see the Supermoon rising over Mt. Abe and caught it coming over the ridge. In a field, hay bales echoed the shape of the full moon. 2020 April -- New Haven, Vermont

Full Moon - April

Vermont is a wonderful place to gaze at the night sky....in this case, it was my backyard.

Comet Neowise over Lincoln Barn

As dusk turned to night, I went up to Lincoln to visit my favorite barn in hopes that I could catch Comet Neowise overhead. I did! 2020 July -- Lincoln, Vermont

Full Moon & Pussy Willow Catkins

The late afternoon sun lit up the pussywillows as the full moon was rising. 2021 April -- Bristol, Vermont
