The layers of this image, taken near Burtt's Apple Orchard on Cabot Plains Road in Cabot, Vermont, reminded me of a parfait dessert. From closest to farthest (bottom to top), fresh-cut hay drying in the sun; corn drying in preparation of harvest; staked young apple trees; forest around the orchard; fog in the valley around Cabot and Route 215; and the foothills of the Green Mountains.
