Rainbow today

Daughter Tori grabbed this backyard photo of this afternoon's rainbow.

Dawn fog

Just before dawn today, some lingering clouds gave the Green Mountains a ruffled look as fog lifted from the hayfields. Looks like we'll finally see some sun bouncing off the brightly colored foliage today, though there's a small chance of a rain shower in the afternoon.

Adirondack view

Looking west toward the Adirondacks this afternoon.

Stunning sunrise this morning

Watched this morning as dawn became a fiery spectacle and a line of clouds seemed to crash against the Green Mountains in the distance.

Beautiful day

Technically, autumn is still a few days off, but it feels like autumn today. It may still be a couple of weeks until the leaves begin their annual show, but today felt like a good day to get out with the camera.

A large sign over at Whiting Community Church announces a Fall Festival this Saturday from 1 to 7 p.m.

One of the maple trees in our side yard has already begun to turn a golden color.

Yesterday's storm pulled some of early fall-colored leaves from the trees and dropped them around town.

I noticed that a lot more area residents are going in for marshmallow farming these days.

The skies looked particularly dramatic this afternoon.
