Vermont how I love thee... let me count the ways. On day 2 of our 1st weekend in Vermont we attended the fall foliage festival at the Bread and Puppet Theater in Glover, VT (granola political leaf peeping at its best) followed by a trip out to Lake Willoughby, a stop that had been recommended by our waitress at the Wildflower Inn.
The lake was incredibly gorgeous and rivaled some of my favorite lakes in Colorado. Check out these lake shore views bursting with Vermont fall foliage:

I love the blazing red reflected in the water. |

All this beauty calls for a little romance... |
We also had a lot of fun shooting some portraits as the evening presented the PERFECT light for photos. In between shots we munched on a picnic of bread and Cabot cheese sandwiches, pasta salad, apples and cashews and played with Iylah. Here are few of my favorite shots:
I also LOVE this next series of Iylah with Nana Terri. Iylah's feet were getting a bit chilly so Nana tried to bundle her all up!! There was a lot of squirming involved:
You may wonder how we got Iylah to smile so happily in many of these photos. There was a lot of behind the camera make the baby smile magic going on. I tried my best to capture some of these candid "entertain the baby" antics:
These next three photos are of Grandpa Bob performing his now famous finger buzzing, bop, gonna get you motion... it was AWESOME! Even I was entertained. We'll have to ask him for an encore at family Christmas.
I also love this next photo, it such a very candid portrayal of super proud grandparents. Hold still for the camera Iylah!
As we left the lake it was pretty much dark but I was able to capture one last glorious sunset on the water of the far lake shore. I love how this photo pretty much summed up this lake..... magical. Lake Willoughby, I will be back someday.
