Summer Photographs: A Country Road

 Summer doesn’t feel like summer without two lane country roads, bordered by cornfields, to travel down. 

Route 17 is such a road. The 40.409 miles (65.032km) stretches from Route 100 in Waitsfield to west and ending in Addison at the border of Upstate NewYork by Lake Champlain. The scenery from out of the Green Mountains to the flat land of the Champlain Valley is spectacular. There is a vibe if traveling through a part of New England’s geological history.

Day 227 of Week 33 August 2025

Cooler nights are a  reminder autumn is nearing. However, early this week the 90°Fahrenheit ambient temperatures stirred no foliage dreams. 

Leaf peeper season this year (without foliage tour plans) will be see a maple tree, buy a pumpkin at the grocery store and wear a scarf on a frosty morning. Since my summer plans didn’t happen, I’m going light on autumn.
