Stick Season in Vermont.

The Old Dairy Barn at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne Vermont
This may be the last known picture of the barn. Sadly, on Sept. 11, 2016, lightning from the storm struck the Old Dairy Barn and it burned to the ground.
At about 5:30am, on Sept. 11, 2016, lightning from a Thunderstorm struck the Old Dairy Barn on the Southern Acres portion of the property. First responders and firefighters arrived on the scene slightly after 7am. By 9:30am, the building was ash and charred wood, and a National Historic Landmark had been lost.
An old barn in East Peacham Vermont.
I thought I would go out in the 90 degree heat and go play with my camera in East Peacham Vermont. As you can see, we need rain.
A warm summer afternoon at the Billings Farm & Museum in Woodstock Vermont
Billings Farm was established in 1871 by Frederick Billings, a native Vermonter known for his work as a lawyer, railroad builder, and pioneer in scientific farm management and reforestation. Billings set out to make his 270-acre farm a model dairy operation for farmers in the region, founded on the principles of efficiency, sustainability, and responsible land use.
