One May afternoon my husband asked me to pick up a map he needed for work at the North Hero Town Clerk's office. It was a beautiful day and I took my camera with me. On my way back along the lake there were many beautiful scenes. This was one of them. It was directly across the street from the North Hero House so I just parked in the drive and took pictures. I just loved the way the boats were laying there under the tree and the serene mountains in the background. I enjoyed painting this later in the summer as I remembered the sunny, lovely drive and how I felt about the beauty that surrounds us in Vermont.
