I spend much of my life driving around New England. The quintessential clock tower and weather vane are are found in many towns and cities. This typical site, along with the old stone walls are a few of my favorite New England things.
Today marks another milestone in the blog...I have officially taken photos in all of the New England states after arriving in Maine today. The photos above are from the harbor area in Portland after I had dinner with some friends. The drive here was just awesome. The fall leaves are in full peak here and also in the Berkshires so while it was a long drive, it was just breath-taking the entire way here.
The temperature was in the low 40s when I took Mona out this morning. The brisk air, light frost on the grass, the pumpkins at the farmers market and the changing leaves can only mean one thing...autumn has arrived! Tuesday is the first official day of fall and while I am sad to be putting away our summer furniture, I absolutely love the fall season. I am in awe of the leaves that paint the countryside each year. I feel alive in the brisk morning air and long to see the mist/fog rise off of the lakes and mountains. So here is hoping for a colorful leaf peeping season and prepare to see many more photographs of the scenes of fall throughout New England!
