🇺🇸Burlington | The Last Hues of Autumn in New England 🍂

🇺🇸Burlington | The Last Hues of Autumn in New England 🍂 Church Street is already smothered in fallen leaves—crimson, amber, and burnt orange—laying thick like a golden carpet that crunches softly underfoot with every step. Sunlight filters through the bare branches above, casting dappled shadows that dance over the foliage, as if the season itself is putting on one final, dazzling show. This must be late autumn’s last stand in New England: the air carries a crisp chill, but the colors are still bold enough to make you pause, every leaf clinging to its branch a little longer, whispering goodbye to the warmth it once knew～ 🍁 Shop windows glow with cozy light, their reflections blending with the sea of leaves below, and the occasional gust of wind sends a flurry of foliage swirling into the air—like nature’s own confetti for the end of the season. Though winter is already nipping at the edges, with mornings bringing faint frosts and evenings darkening earlier, I’m already secretly counting down the months until next year’s fall. I’ll definitely come back to step on these leaves again, to breathe in that earthy, spicy scent of autumn, and to chase this fleeting magic just a little longer. 📍Burlington, VT —————— Can’t recommend this Vietnamese noodle shop enough! 🍜 It’s the kind of place that feels like a warm hug on a cool autumn day, tucked away on a quiet street just a short walk from the bustle of Church Street. 📍Pho Hong 325 N Winooski Ave, Burlington, VT 05401 The broth simmers gently behind the counter, rich and sweet with hints of star anise and cinnamon, slow-cooked for hours to draw out depth from bones and herbs. Thinly sliced beef, tender enough to melt in your mouth, curls into the hot soup, while fresh bean sprouts, basil, and lime wedges wait on the side to be stirred in—each addition a burst of brightness. Squeeze in a splash of lime, sprinkle in a handful of cilantro, and let the first sip coat your throat: warm, savory, and just a little bit tangy. It’s pure comfort in a bowl, perfect for late autumn when the air nips at your cheeks and all you want is something to chase the chill away. #WeekendGetaway#Burlington#Vermont#NewEngland#USA#Photography#LateAutumn#Sunset#DaylightSavingTime#Burlington#vermont
