Fall Today: Strawbery Banke

The foliage at our house is past peak, settling into late autumn browns, golds, greens and russets.


A short walk this afternoon in nearby Portsmouth, NH revealed peak foliage, especially around Strawbery Banke.






Beautiful!

Thanks for the happy photo feedback! I appreciate it!!

Believe it or not, in the towns right around where I live, we haven't had a truly spectacular fall. We had two windy rainstorms at key times, so the leaves didn't all get a chance to turn colors before they were blown off in those storms.

In particular, there was this farmhouse that I kept driving by, waiting to show you the 100 year old maples surrounding the house in all of their glory. They went from green to slightly yellow to gone. In most years, they're green, yellow and then a spectacular orange and red show.

I guess that means I can blog about fall again next year!!!
