New England Woods #1. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
Late-summer foliage in the New England Woods — “The Mount,” Massachusetts.
We are just back from a visit to the East Coast. We started in New York City, where we visited relatives and enjoyed a few of the city’s amenities and attractions as it gradually starts to come back to life. (It felt very different from our last visit, in the midst of the pandemic resurgence last winter.) From there we headed north to Vermont, where we spent a week with an even larger assemblage of family members — hanging out, cooking and eating together, and getting into the New England world.
Believe it or not, this was my first time visiting the states north of New York City. This California near-native, who regards our brown/golden and parched summer landscape as normal was appropriately impressed by the green of Vermont and, on a couple of brief forays, areas of Massachusetts. On this day we ventured down to Lenox to “The Mount,” the estate of Edith Wharton. We did visit the mansion, but we also spent time strolling the grounds and the gardens, where I made this photograph.
