It's Maple Season in Vermont.
Yep - Maple is a season here, and for good reason.
Vermont is the top producer of maple syrup in the U.S.
I would say that Maple Season is the sweet prelude to Mud Season,
but in truth, they overlap
Yeah, seasons are a little bit different here.
Anyway -
in honor of Maple Season, I'd like to share my favorite sugar shack.
(all photos still taken with a 50 mm lens)
It's no longer in use,
but I couldn't resist this photogenic gem.
and the rusty old truck
It looks as though sugaring operations have been moved across the street
to this newer, larger, but still charming, sugar shack.

I can see why Vermont is the Maple Syrup state, you have some big Sugar Shack's there. Love the old one with the vintage truck.
ReplyDeleteI like the Little Blue Truck! Fresh Pure Maple Syrup ... What a treat. Thanks for sharing your favorite sugar shack, Karen. Photogenic indeed.

I love that first picture of the old sugar shack with the old truck and deep in snow...Sounds like business must have been good for them to move to the bigger sugar shack...
ReplyDeleteIt must be incredible to have fresh syrup to enjoy....
I have never had fresh maple syrup!! Would you Fed Ex some to me?? :)

ReplyDeleteOh my- that's a gorgeous old building and the truck is beautiful too. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteI do love that sugar shack. The truck makes it even better! I'm glad it's still standing even though they have moved operations. Great shots with the 50mm lens :)
ReplyDeleteNice series of photos♫ My brother has a maple tree and makes his own syrup....what a process! He's in Indiana and only makes enough for his family so it's a real treat to get some from him! My Rurality: http://lore-eleven.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-positive-negative.html

ReplyDeleteIt is a gem. Love it.
ReplyDeleteyou captured it beautifully with your nifty fifty. love that old building and the truck is a bonus!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared these.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth shot is my favorite! A Rockwell type of image. :)
I like the look of these and think I should get out my fifty lens and use it more.
There's something wonderful about old trucks. Even if they're just sitting there ... I guess someone(s) couldn't bear to sell them for scrap.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that sugar shack and the old truck! Wow--very photogenic!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying over the truck and sugar shack!! Such fun images!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have a sugar shake like that one, along with the truck :) I can't wait until we get one!!
ReplyDeletePhotogenic is right! I like these photos very much.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that sugar shack could be moved to my home in Maine? I love it!
ReplyDeleteBrrr....when do you get some warm weather? Love the rusty truck! And now, I'll be singing Sugar Shack all night...you can understand why I've got to get back to that sugar shack...aw baby to that sugar shack.....and it's bedtime...I'll be singing in my sleep!
ReplyDeleteLove those weathered boards and that old rusty truck! There's nothing better than pure maple syrup on blueberry pancakes! Sure looks cold there! xx
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture on the rusted care and wood factory! The snow adds sugar :)
