Dummer State Park


(C) 2026 Dale DiMauro


Hiking through a state park seems like a defiant act of Spring. It seems like a statement that Winter may be officially over. Well - I hiked through Dummer State Park in Brattleboro, VT a few weeks ago after I saw my dental hygienist. 

For me it expanded my walking perimeter after a long and difficult Winter. No wildlife was found. However, there was a scattering of people, likewise, spreading their wings a little bit.

What I did observe was the lovely sunlight and longer length of days penetrating deep into the woods which one would not notice once the trees all leaf out.

That warm experience I put on paper here on this watercolor block. The spatial quality of the trees and the pine needle forest bed added a welcome mat for the new season to unfold.
