New England Fall

Beautiful America: Autumn

It’s growing cooler at nights, I didn’t want to leave my warm bed for the morning chill this morning! Even here in Ohio I am starting to see color on the trees, a splash of gold here, a glow of red there. I am curious to see what the fall color will look like in the end, whether it will be anything close to the New England leaves I have grown accustomed to.

Most of the photos I am including today were taken in Maine and New Hampshire, having spent something like twenty falls there, watching the leaves change. Some years, a capricious wind would strip them all in a night. Others, they would linger on into the first snowfall.

One of the things I am learning, working on this project – I really need to organize my photos. With almost 20K snaps to wade through on two computers, it’s a bit daunting. Some I can search, but only if I thought to label them at some point. Ah, well, it’s a good exercise for me, and I hope you are enjoying it!

New England Fall
It was the perfect day. The family took a trip up to Sandwich Fair, and on the way home I stopped and snapped this photo, a frozen moment of peace and beauty.
