Catch up Photos
Martin Bridge, refurbished and made a local landmark, one of the last covered bridges in the area. I was negligent several weeks ago and had not at the time posted pictures, but this post is a catch up from then. Just some pictures of picturesque Vermont. As always, you cick on the pictures to view them larger.
What should be standard in a New England winter. 400 gram weight boots. Warm, and not so clunky. The North Face makes this pair, but you have a number of good options. These ones simply allow me to hike and play (and get to work) with freezing my toes off.
Another standard issue to keep warm in the wintertime. Lots of wood needed. Everyone needs a stove: wood, pellet, or gas. Propane works, too.
Sunrise on the way to work, from my house to the hospital. The morning sun made the otherwise lifeless trees glow.
In Montpelier there is Hubbard Park with a tower in the northwest side that over looks most of the area. An easy hike from the back side entrance brings you here.
Lake Elmore sports some ice fishing folk. I had heard about these, and apart from my venture to Maine, I hadn't seen any until this particular weekend on the way to church. Yes, I still think it's a little nuts.
A view from Martin Bridge along the river. The recent snow fall for this picture came early enough in the season that the river was still flowing, but the fall was big enough to give a good cover.
This photograph of icon Vermont architecture of the barn and the covered bridge was taken from Stone Circle, on a hill overlooking the typical structures that mark Vermont countryside. It made for a beautiful, albeit, cold view.
Now all that is cleared, I can start posting with some kind of regularity and consistency.
