oct 20? sticks by then. but, i like the soft mouse gray color of the hills once the sticks arrive. add a little sting in the air if it gets cold and it feels like minnesota---with hills. as far as cloudland is concerned, who knows? the mysteries of road work in vermont are even more perplexing to me...

access is only from the north, either galaxy hill or barber hill the construction at the southern end has been going on for three weeks or so.

Woodstock and the surrounding area continues to be about a week ahead of last year, although the rapid (and a bit uneven) development of color a week ago has slowed a bit. Today there was strong wind in the afternoon, and some leaves blew off the trees. Another four or five days or so to go here. Th...

Great images Ed.

the 1902 maple grove farm is on allen hill road, about a half mile east of east barnard.

today i spent about four hours on my favorite roads in woodstock, pomfret, barnard, bridgewater and quechee. usually things would still be quite green here. there are still many green trees, but a much larger than usual number of trees have changed already. also, many of the trees that have changed ...

Years ago I used to think Oct 12-15 give or take a few days was about right in the Woodstock, Quechee, Pomfret, Bridgewater area. The last few years I would say Oct 15-18 give or take a few days is about right. But, every year is different. Here are two images. One is along Cloudland Road on Oct. 16...

Thanks Ed. Very clearly put.

Unfortunately, for the last couple years the view of the sugar shack from caper hill road has been obstructed, for the purpose of photography, but neon colored tubes for maple syrup drainage that have been strung about ten or fifteen feet above the road. you can photoshop them out, but they are not ...

I am sympathetic with those who are not finding the color they expect, although my experience at leaf hunting here is that October 15 is late in the leaf season more often than you might think, something to keep in mind in planning for the future. Notwithstanding this, there is still good color, you...

Ed: They're great!!

Color in this area is yellow to orange with some green still mixed in. Some brighter colors on the back roads in Pomfret and Barnard, some reds even, which are not common here in any year. Try Allen Hill Rd. in Pomfret/Barnard. Further ripening of color here may be interrupted by leaf drop, which ha...

Always best if the moose decides to go the other way.

I see you did get there in time for some clouds!
