__________________________ Technical Notes: All of the pictures were taken with an LG G4 smartphone, but it stopped working when we were in Seville, Spain in 2017. I later read that my LG G4 stopped working due to a problem that LG was aware of, but, due to corporate greed, LG did not recall the phones. As a result, I do not recommend buying ANY LG products, given corporate policy regarding known defective products. I replaced the LG G4 with a Samsung Galaxy S8. Smartphone cameras struggle a bit in lowlight situations, and that can sometimes cause a slight distortion of the image. But, overall, I am extremely pleased with the quality of pictures taken by Samsung smartphone cameras. __________________________

Vermont Fall Colors 2015 On October 4, 2015, Carolyn and I flew from Tucson to Albany, New York; picked up a rental car; spent the night in Albany; drove to Woodstock, Vermont, where we spent 3 nights at The Canterbury House; drove to Stowe, Vermont, where we spent 3 nights at The Arbor Inn; drove to Brandon, Vermont, where we spent 2 nights at the Inn on Park Street; drove back to Albany, New York and flew home to Tucson. While in Vermont, we spent the days driving country roads and looking at the beautiful fall colors, at hills and mountains covered in many shades of red, yellow, and orange. Several locals told us we were there at what is called ‘Peak’, the height of the viewing season. But maybe that’s what they tell all the ‘leaf-peepers’. The weather was sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny, but there was only one rainy day, so we were fortunate. This was supposed to be our last leaf-peeping trip to New England, but we had such a good time that we might make one more trip in a few years. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that some of these pictures have been, ahem, ‘enhanced’. ________________________________________________ Pictures from our Vermont Fall Colors tour: CLICK HERE When you are finished looking at the pictures, close the window. ________________________________________________ 6/23/2018 5:14 PM
