picture perfect.

though this might LOOK like a painting, it is a photo that i took with my iPhone ! the light was just perfect. this summer, lake ninevah has been EXTRAordinarily beautiful + photogenic . . . or maybe i’m just “seeing” more beauty this year ? whichever the case may be, i like it.

plymouth.

one of my favorite places in vermont is plymouth. we always stop here to stock up on cheese, soak in the the MOST picturesque landscape, and visit the sheep

you can even watch them MAKING cheese.

they have a small herd of sheep and you can hand feed them apples.

kayak.

one of my favorite water sports is kayaking. i LOVE being so low with the water and exploring little nooks in the lake. this was an exceptional day of kayaking. the sky this summer has been so dramatic with some of the most amazing clouds i have ever seen. for me, it’s a welcome change from the usual clear blue skies. just LOOK at those CLOUDS !
