New Hampshire and Vermont Fall Foliage Blog

Brett Pelletier Photography - New Hampshire and Vermont Fall Foliage Gallery

Born and raised in a small town in Northern New Hampshire it was important for me to capture this area in all its beauty during the prime foliage season. New Hampshire and Vermont are known for having spectacular foliage and hopefully you feel as I do that my gallery displays this. The Whitney Farm in Shelburne, NH is my personal favorite on a crisp fall morning with blue sky, a small red farm, yellow aspens, and red maple in the foreground. A little sign beyond the Whitney Farm entrance reads, 'Hay - Hogs - Eggs' helping this capture be a classic. Another popular favorite is the Jenne Farm in Reading VT. This simple farm in the backwoods of Vermont is the most photographed barn in the New England area and may look familiar to you because it has been featured in commercials and movies such as Forrest Gump. The trip to the area where the Jenne Farm is located was a few hours drive from where I was staying meaning that I was only going to have one day to shoot, and of course the day I chose to visit was gloomy and raining on and off. When I first arrived at the Jenne Farm you couldn't even see it because the fog was so thick and my spirits dropped. I was with my family and we decided to drive around some and come back in a little while. When we did the fog was still heavy in the air and visiblity was nill. Finally, on the third and final desperate attempt it looked like the fog had lifted somewhat and we returned to find the farm just visible benath the shroud above and within a few minitues the veil had lifted above the burning orange and red tree tops and the Jenne Farm nestled into the rolling green hills with a few cows grazing the pasture.

Other images of note from the area include the Flume in Franconia Notch, the Stark Covered Bridge and Village, and also a black and white image of Mountains and Valleys as seen from near the summit of Mount Madison. ******************************************* *sky artphotooftheday artlandscape artwater artphotography artwildflower art
