Children’s Grave 3 comments
Heartbreaking to think that these parents buried 4 children, aged from infant to 4 years old. Life expectancy of babies at that time was pretty low – some families didn’t bother to name a baby until it had reached its first birthday!

Revolutionary War Heroes Leave a comment
I came across a few graves of revolutionary war veterans in this cemetery in Stowe, Vermont. One died at age 80, 180 years ago, after fighting a war 240 years ago. Amazing that their gravestones have survived the Vermont weather this long.

Goodbye, Lovely Vermont 1 comment
Tomorrow ends my last winter visit to Stowe, VT. Haven’t taken too many pictures lately because I feel like I’ve exhausted the possibilities, and because skiing has taken precedence. But here are a few that I liked from this week:

Fresh snow, a setting sun, plus some fiddling with various filters, and voila: a different take on the typical sunset.

Ice Flowers Leave a comment
At -20 degrees at night in Vermont, the windows get nicely frosted. Brrrr!  Ice flowers are  less common these days, since everyone now has double-paned windows, where these formations rarely show up. These were on a single-paned garage window.

Only in the fall, when all the leaves are down, do you start noticing some of the other, equally beautiful things of the forest: mushrooms, bark, fungi.
I Love Bakeries! 3 comments
And sometimes I can’t help myself and I just HAVE to pull out my camera and take a picture of these mouth-watering delights. The first one is my favorite bakery in New York: Amy’s Bread on 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. Their Miche is to die for! The second one is a market in Stowe, VT. What’s your favorite bakery?

Driving along Highway 100 in Vermont, I came across too many photo opportunities to ask my wife to stop for every single one of them. Still, I managed to take advantage of a few, catching the peak season of the famous Vermont Foliage:
