All dirt roads lead to North Danville

When I convinced Alex that Tuesday was the perfect night for a drive, he actually agreed with me this week. The rain had stopped, the sun was trying to peek out from behind the clouds, and there wasn't anything good on TV (oops the All Star game was on, but we forgot). First we went out to Andrew and Becca's place to drop off some biscuits I'd made earlier in the day, and we continued the back road adventure in a huge hour long circle, going through small "villages" like South Kirby. Alex always jokes that all the dirt roads in Vermont will bring you to this tiny community about 20 minutes away called North Danville. Well Tuesday night, we didn't end up in North Danville BUT we would've gotten there eventually....

Here are some of my shots from Tuesday night. The beautiful farm in Kirby:


No dirt road in Vermont would be complete without some cows grazing along the side of the road


One of two old covered bridges we found on our drive


And the peaceful quiet road by Andrew and Becca's

Ashley & Aaron: The Reception

This afternoon, I was just going through some pictures I took at my friend Ashley's wedding back in October, and thought I'd share a few gems from the reception. The wedding was beautiful, and we all had a blast!

I love this shot of my bouquet on the table


The speeches were really touching


The beautiful cake


And probably my favorite shot - I love the texture-y detail in this one

Mt Hoar

Two weeks ago, I hiked up Mt Hoar with a few awesome women and we had a great time! The view is incredible for a fairly easy hike, and it was definitely worth it. I loaded up my Shootsac with some hiking essentials and prayed the rain would hold off. It was super humid on the way up but the sun came out as we got near the top and burned off most of the haze.

My shootsac, mostly packed....


See how hazy it was??


I really love the vintagey-postcard feel to this one


The ever beautiful Lake Willoughby


A different view of the lake


Cool rolling hills


And one last view of the lake

Blame it on the Rain!

I think Alex has probably said it best.... it's a sad state of affairs when you can count the number of sunny days since summer began on one finger. Le sigh. I'm heading home to Nova Scotia for a couple of weeks at the end of July, so I'm hoping it clears up into nice sunny summer weather for while I'm there! In honor of the rain, here's one from July 3.
