Photo of the Day: Fall Foliage

PREVIOUS10 of 10

Just as the green summer fattens and strengthens the creatures of Vermont, fall cuts crisply into the bounty by sending migrating animals south, silencing chirping birds and insects, and running deer and bear out of the forests until hunting season ends.
