SummerFunTime


 Barn owl! Outside of it's natural habitat, which is a barn. From the VINS Nature Center. They rehabilitate birds of prey that have been injured (mostly by cars!). You people really need to start riding bikes.
 Chittenden Reservoir in the Chittenden, Vermont. It's a great place to kayak.
We agreed that we need to come back in the fall.


 
Hummingbird at the Mountain Top Inn... The Inn overlooks Chittenden Reservoir, awesome views and the food's good too.
The Long Trail at the Brandon Gap... near the Brandon, Vermont. Gap sounds negative to me, as if there's all this fun stuff on both sides; but there's a gap in between that you don't want to be in. 'Cause it's crappy.
The Brandon Gap from the top.
This is what the marble quarries of West Rutland look like now... Full of water and the corpses of countless drunken teens that thought it would be a good place to swim.
More marble quarry... Alas, you can't see any corpses from the shore.
