Day 116 of Week 17 April 2024

Route 17 Addison, Vermont
April 2024

It is a beautiful day here in Vermont. At lunch time, it was out and about for a short walk and picture taking. Hearing honking, I saw a goose flying in the distance off to the right out of frame. 

Using my iphone 13, pictures do not turn out well, even with editing. Serendipity excursions means that I don't always have a better camera with me.

Summer Fields & Summer Rain

At the Dead Creek Wildlife Refuge visitors area on Route 17, Addison, Vermont, the Champlain Valley floor is delightful to see, flat land stretching to the horizons north and south, and mountains west and east.

The heavy rain clouds can be seen for miles rolling towards the east from over the Adirondack Mountains in the west on their way over the Green Mountains.

On the one afternoon I thought to take a short trip to the visitor's viewing area parking lot, there were  pockets of downpours, less than a quarter mile visibility, with road ruts deep in water. Three downpours I drove through. Exhausting. I am grateful to God there were tailgaters behind me.

Looking north towards Panton, Vermont, the line of mountains visible just above the tree line resembles the visibility in the downpours. It was unreal.
