May you soon be able to enjoy it again @hollydolly !
 
Old Jelly Mill Falls: Below is a small section of stepped waterfalls located at coordinates 42.914756, -72.614915. The cascading steps of granite make for wonderful place to stop if you're anywhere in the neighborhood.

The waterfall consists of a series of stepped falls and miniature cascades that mark the last hurrah of a brook that terminates just downstream of the falls as it flows under VT 30 and into the West River. The picture was taken during a low water period and only shows a few of the steps.

This is an Anglican Church here in Americus. The photos doesn’t really do justice to how lovely it is. Two things I especially like about it, it has a lychgate (far left, hard to see, sorry) and when they redid the roof last year, they used real slate. I’ll bet it’s lovely inside too... one of these days I’ll take a look 😊
 
Backyards: I posted a pic of the formal gardens behind Robert Lincoln's VT home, both in another thread here and on another forum. The comments I got on another forum noted that taking care of those gardens wouldn't leave much time to ride. I then posted this pic of our back yard, noting that Mother Nature takes care of it, free of charge.

Picture was taken in late fall. Personally, I prefer the above to more formal gardens, but that's just me. It's where the deer and the antelope play, along with the turkeys, bears, moose, fox, rabbits, coyotes, chickens, hawks possums, et. al.
 
Not Your Average House: When doing a little motorcycle route planning, you sometimes stumble upon places you stumbled on before but don't remember what they were. This house was one we stumbled upon - riding by and then doing a 180 to see what it was. We didn't know what it was then and I couldn't remember what or where it was when I stumbled across it again in the picture archives yesterday.

With some detective work, I learned this place is called Santarella and was the home of English-born sculptor Sir Henry Hudson Kitson (1864 - 1947). Kitson apparently spent the last 25 years of his life building this rather unique cottage. It was once an old barn that he transformed into his personal home and studio. It is believed Kitson designed the structure to mimic old British houses.

The property also contains a cluster of other unique structures that sit in a lush garden. Sir Henry also converted an old silo into an additional studio that has since been converted into a cozy cottage. Shown below is a picture of the converted silo. I am unsure of this picture's origin, whether from the internet or the SIL's camera, since it wasn't from one of my cameras.

Sir Henry is noted for a number of sculptures in the Boston area , the Vicksburg National Military Park and other locations. Santarella is located in the town of Tryingham, MA, at coordinates 42.254727, -73.214332.
 
A Nice Old Bridge: Constructed of stones with no mortar, this bridge was built by hand in 1866 by one Adolphus Porter.

The bridge is located in New Salem, MA, at coordinates 42.534173, -72.302773 just off Rt 122 at Quabbin Gate 30. It's short walk in off the road and spans a branch of the Swift River, which flows into the Quabbin Reservoir. The road was for horse and buggy/wagon traffic into the area. It was never paved and became a walking trail when much of the surrounding land was taken for the reservoir.
