Is It Over Yet?
Depending on your definition of 'it'... however, there's no doubt that the leaves are falling at a rapid rate and the Green Mountain State is alive with fall foliage color. This photo, taken by Vergennes resident, Martha DeGraaf, captures the beauty of the Falls during the soon-to-be fleeting autumnal season. Goodbye, summer - hello, the beginning of 'Stick Season'!
