“THE FALLSThere’s only a handful of urban waterfalls that I recommend to others. Middlebury Falls is one of them. It’s a wide 18-foot block style falls that you’d swear was dammed, but it is not. It also doesn’t hurt that the town of Middlebury is also one of Vermont’s most attractive small towns, replete withContinue reading “Middlebury Falls with Close-Up!”

Fall Foliage Has Begun in Vermont
Ahh, the fall foliage has begun. Since tourism is Vermont’s number one industry, the changing of the leaves is darned good for the state coffers! As I filmed structures on the National Register of Historic Places, I also captured much shorter videos of Nature doing her thing. In fact, the location of this video willContinue reading “Fall Foliage Has Begun in Vermont”
Sounds of a Colorado Creek
I visited friends who lived in Nathrop, Colorado, back in August 2013. This was, of course, MANY years before my YouTube channel. Ferg had driven us up to St. Elmo, a ghost town. That drive was harrowing! Imagine a spiral mountain dirt road, and yes, that road was a 2-way roadway! No guardrails, even thoughContinue reading “Sounds of a Colorado Creek”
Pouring Rain and a Clap of Thunder
I absolutely LOVE when I see a “SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING” via The Weather Channel show up on my phone! I’ll often go sit on my patio and watch it roll in. In fact, for this one, multiple neighbors also came outside to enjoy Mother Nature’s show.

Crest of Mount Equinox
The Mount Equinox Skyline Drive is 5.2 miles of paved road. It is the longest privately owned toll road in the United States. A friend and I paid the $30 bucks (car plus 1 passenger) to drive to the top of Mount Equinox via the Skyline Drive toll road. At the top, among other things,Continue reading “Crest of Mount Equinox”
Emerald Lake State Park: My Site!
Well, this was my home-away-from-home for the past couple of nights. A friend, he dog and I had stayed in a handicapped lean-to, which was her suggestion. So glad she knew about stuff like that! It was no more than 150 feet away from the bathrooms/showers and had a ramp with a railing until theContinue reading “Emerald Lake State Park: My Site!”
