New England Woods #5. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
A dense New England forest full of slender trees.
Slightly out of numerical order, here is another in the short series of photographs of New England woods from our late-August visit to (mostly) Vermont and parts of Massachusetts. To recap, we spent a week with a large family group in Southern Vermont, not far from Wilmington, where we rented a large place that we all shared. It wan’t primarily a photography trip — we spent more time talking, cooking, eating, and generally sitting around. But I did have a few opportunities to explore bits of the natural surroundings.
Again, the dense growth of these woods was unfamiliar to me. On the west costs I’m more likely to see relatively open forests or perhaps grasslands interspersed with deciduous trees. Here in Vermont the growth is thick , and it comes right to the edge of roadways and paths, leaving few opportunities for long views. So I often found myself walking along rural roads and photographing into this lovely foliage from its edge.
