Sam and I hit our 1 year mark near the beginning of February and took a little trip to celebrate the milestone. A weekend of Vermont style fun was in order. Breweries, Antiques, Beautiful views, and TEDDY BEARS! :)
We headed over to Vermont on a Thursday evening so that we could get there that night and have our entire long weekend away from home, and not have to get up on Friday and still drive out to the destination.

A happy moon provides.
We headed out around 8 at night, so we were driving in the pitch dark of February, but the moon was exquisite that night, this picture doesn't do it justice, but it was the best that I could get (I'm definitely saving for a new camera to take better digital pictures)

Reflections of a time gone by
This picture was crazy to me, because I was trying to get the old church from inside the car (it was cold, I wasn't rolling down the window) and the ambient light from the street light was enough to cause a refracted reflection that makes it look like there is a street right above the church, which really was on the other side fo the street. I didn't even realize how cool this photo had turned out until I got home and started editing the pictures on the computer, at first I wasn't even sure what I was looking at until I blew the picture up.

The man in his element.
This was the first brewery that we toured over the weekend, Long Trail brewery in Vermont. It was a self guided tour on a walkway above the brewery floor. Though they weren't brewing at the time, Sam was in heaven just to see it.

The babbling brook over beer.
So Sammy loves beer (I do too, but it's a no-no with a gluten allergy), I love brooks. I could play in a brook finding neat stones that are water polished and beautiful. I took some pictures out back of Long Trail of the wonderful brook that flows right out the back door of their facility. I think Sammy would have been happy if it was a river of beer more though.....
Distorted bubbles.
Had to take some up close pictures of the way the water was rippling that was making the smooth stones under the surface seem to sparkle. Wish it had been a sunnier day for catching all the beauty, but at least thank goodness for photoshop helping out with that a little!

The cover over.
So on the way from our lovely visit to Long Trail along the way to the next of many destinations, Sammy stopped the car on the side of the road for me so that I could take some photos of a wonderful covered bridge that caught my eye as we drove by, he knows me too well.

He flies high to keep this thing in place.
I was enamored, I don't know if this was a new bridge, as we were in an area hard hit by hurricane Irene and the horrible floods that ensued, but at least the pilings for the bridge were. I hope this was at least in part the old bridge that they saved, but even if it wasn't, they did a wonderful job to make it beautiful and artful, I'm totally in love with it's country charm.
Well it's late and tomorrow is another day, so to sleep I must go as the computer is almost out of juice and I don't have it plugged in to charge. Will try and upload the rest of the fun from our trip and all the other wonderful pictures tomorrow!
Love reflected in the window pane of my soul.
