As the Maples Begin to Change Their Wardrobes – Photophile Musings
It’s the coming of autumn here in Central Vermont, but the leaves aren’t quite yet falling down. But, the trees are already beginning to change color, especially the sugar maples.

Photophile Musings – The Sparkle Barn
The Sparkle Barn in Wallingford, Vermont is a great shop with tons of artistic handcrafted gifts nested inside an 1800’s dairy barn.

Setting Down to Type a Masterpiece – Photophile Musings
