Beebe Lake
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006
Some have emailed me about the photo from the previous post wanting to know where it is, etc. I re-posted the photo again above.
It was taken near the dock of my Uncle Terry and Aunt Judy’s home on Beebe Lake in Vermont. Uncle Terry passed away October 18th. I took this photo along with a few others (see them here) very early that following Sunday morning. I couldn’t sleep anymore so grabbed my little travel camera (which I almost decided to leave back at home in Chicago) and walked outside to see this breathtaking sight.
It was a crisp, chilly morning with the pleasing fresh fragrance of pine in the air. There was a whispy fog moving just above the still, mirror-like lake. It was so serene, peaceful, and beautiful with the fall colors of the mountains still holding on for a few more days. I stood there, silent, for a while taking it all in and began to understand why he and my Aunt Judy love this place so much. As I thought more about Uncle Terry and the images captured here, it seemed a fitting metaphor for the emotions of that time.
In Loving Memory of my Uncle Terry, Jan. 26, 1938-Oct. 18, 2006.
