This was a weekend where there were at least 4 different rainstorm, probably more. I manage to get out in my kayak after work on Friday and then again up to the Sand Bar Park and launch south to consistently not catch any fish despite one or two beautiful casts (they don't bite for style?).
I left before the second storm of the day hit, took sal for a short run in storm 3 and retired for the night. Sunday brought a short window of sun between storm 4 and storm 5 so I tool to Laplatte Woods, part of Shelburne.
A small place, it was nicely empty and not horribly buggy. Sort of. My DEET could not keep them away.
There was this nice bench along the way, Sal refused not to be in the shot.
Saw these flowers, and the white version of it as well, still not sure what they actually are. tried looking it up but did not find an obvious match.
Back in the 1780s there was a Grist Mill on this site, built by Ira Allen. It was the key to Winooski.
Sal looking upstream where there had been a 50 foot damn. It was washed away in a flood in the 1800s.
The little fall that remains.
Vermont has a lot of rock like this, it looks like elephant hide.
Another yellow flower with a doting bee. A nice short walk before yet another storm.

The purple flower is likely a wild dianthus. :)
Ah, yeah when I look that up it looks right.
