Leaf Peeping

There are lots of places in the world where the leaves change color in the autumn. As a San Diegan through and through, this is something I haven't had much personal experience with. But even in places where the leaves do turn, not everyone goes leaf peeping. 'Leaf peeping' is driving out to the country for the express purpose of seeing the leaves. I did this yesterday, and wow. I had been watching the Foliage Network, which puts out a report twice a week during leaf season. This report came out two days before we went out.
Hotels and B&Bs sell out during leaf season. It's a big deal. In addition to Massachusetts, we went through Vermont, New Hampshire, and briefly into New York.











Of course, I took far more than twelve photos. I hope you like these ones that I culled out from the bunch. I'm hoping to go leaf peeping again this weekend. It should be a shorter, more local trip, but you don't have to go far in New England to see stunning fall colors.

Wonderful seeing your world through your photos. I hope you're pressing some of those beauties. Do you remember your liquid amber mobile?
I love you,
Mom

That last comment was from me, of course. Love, Mom Jan
