These are lovely photos,, but I’m sorry you didn’t include Bennington, VT. We have three covered bridges, two of which are lovely from any angle. Thank you for sharing.

These are indeed lovely – but where is the West Arlington (Covered Bridge Green) bridge? It is remarkable in its beauty as well. Deb is right – Bennington has lovely bridges too – one of them being the “silk bridge”, I think. Right, Deb?

Autumn is by far New England’s best season. Just this side of heaven.

Thank you for the lovely photos!
