I had a special blessing this time, and my friend Joyce came too.
We stopped by the Von Trapp Family Lodge and breathed in the scenery and had a photography adventure in their gardens.
So many seasons have been memorized in Vermont.
The gardens are wonderful, and they just added a new statue, which just begged for a bit of texture.
Summer is a beautiful time to visit Stowe.
When we were leaving they were having an outdoor concert. Sigh, wish we had time and a picnic blanket and basket. On the drive home, the sky put on quite a show. A beautiful sunset bursting into pink skies against the mountain backdrop.
Please take home any photos that speak to your heart for your personal use.

So many wonderful photos of so many wonderful things. I love hot air balloons! During our festival, there are many that sometimes go over our house. You can almost touch them and they are so close you can carry on a conversation with the rider. I dearly love your post today. Such sweet sights and calming excitements.
Thank you for the blessings.

How beautiful it looks there. I would love to visit Stowe Vermont someday.
How perfect! It was just four years ago nearly to the day that we were there. I think it's time to return, though if we can't quite swing it with a dog and a cat, we can visit this post and grin. (Or I can. I won't pretend that John does much blog visiting anymore. ☺)
What a beautiful place Stowe is ... so close to your heart. I love hot air balloons!!!!
You are a wonderful photographer and friend. It was a magical weekend.
Oh glorious! I save several of these in my 'Karen' folder on my desktop. Your photos are awesome. I hope you'll share more!

What beautiful pictures and memories here, Karen. I am so glad you were able to go with your friend- xo Diana
Stunning my sweet Karen! Stowe is a dream place; Ruben took me there after my parents passed away. Then after Stowe, we went DOWN to Williamsburg Virginia. How lovely is our country.
