Gilmore House at the Rikert Nordic Center in Ripton is a cheerful sight after swooping along the curves of the ski trail in deep, fresh snow. It is one of the many yellow buildings that are part of the Breadloaf Campus of Middlebury College.
On a snowy day in February, I stepped out on my porch with my camera for a few images of snow falling in the trees. I literally gasped when I saw this Cooper's Hawk about 20 feet away in the tree next to our bird feeders. I think he was looking for a snack...and it wasn’t seeds. I was wondering why the birds had all disappeared! He is a gorgeous bird and a ferocious predator. 2021 February -- Bristol, Vermont
I love seeing magnificent barns like this one. It is large and has quite a presence on East Street. One this day, the falling snow created a timeless scene. 2020 January -- New Haven, Vermont
