Vermont - early October

eoren1

Drove up to Stowe, VT on Oct 3rd in hopes of seeing great foliage. Seems like a dud of a year with the dry Summer we had. Did hit two great waterfalls though - Bingham and Moss Glenn. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Love that Moss Glen Falls shot. That is a nice place to hike. I'm in New Hampshire, and it is a pretty muted foliage year here too. Good for you for getting out there though, it is still a beautiful place!

I love the first shot with both mist and reflections. Fabulous!

+1 on the first shot...I love those misty mornings. Nice photo of the falls as well!

Nice shots.
Here in SW New Hampshire, also a dull year. Could be the hot summer, but I think it is the storm and all the rain lately. Maybe a combo?

Thanks everyone
Sucks to hear about NH as I was planning on hitting the Lakes region this weekend in hopes of better photos. Have you found/heard of any good color this year?

Even if locals say this isn't a great year, the colors, fog and scenery are everything that's great about VT in the fall. Nice work, E!

love 1, 4, and 5. 5's clouds are such amazing shapes!

Makes me home sick for SE VT. I hear the colors peaked more mid-sept. I really dig 1 and 10.

Thanks everyone! 1 was dumb luck... Was driving and kept seeing mist coming off the water everywhere. Tried one turnoff that didn't lead to the road I wanted and then happened upon this small lake/pond. Didn't see much at first until I hiked a bit further down the road and ended up with this shot. Here are three more from that area.
