Colorful foliage on Bragg Hill in Fayston.
The Mad River Valley is showing beautiful fall color this week. The hillsides in this scenic area of central Vermont are particularly bright with shades of red, orange and gold.
On Sunday I drove along the back roads of Waitsfield, Warren and Fayston for a leaf-peeping outing. I spent most of the afternoon with my camera on Bragg Hill, a road between Waitsfield and Fayston that climbs to the west and offers views of Sugarbush Resort's Mount Ellen.
Judging from the top photo, this is about as good as it gets for fall color.

Ahh... my home turf!!! I've always loved the barn in your second photo... can you imagine spending your life as a farmer on that farm! Talk about heaven on earth... Larry
ReplyDeleteThis route is my daily commute. To watch the changing seasons on a daily basis is the coolest.
ReplyDeleteOh to drive down that road each day, I wish:)
ReplyDeleteHi Larry -- I love that barn! I think it's actually for sale. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan -- You are so lucky! What a beautiful road -- one of the most beautiful in VT.
She -- I know! It's a gorgeous spot in every season.
erica, my great grandfather had a large farm in warren atop fuller hill...he was elijah fuller. his grandfather came over from england and chose that area. my great grandmother (not related) was born in fayston and lived in waitsfield during her childhood. thank you for showing those photos. i am sure my ancestors have seen those views...very comforting for me way down here in wv!
ReplyDeleteTose are some great Fall foliage colors! The wind has blown a lot of leaves off the trees before we got a chance to look at them around here.
ReplyDeleteKritter - I am so glad you enjoyed the photos of the barn. It's really such a magnificent place, and I can see why your grandfather was drawn to the area. I love it there.
ReplyDeleteHi Larry - We have had some wind and rain too, but the leaves have held on in a lot of the valleys.
