Here are pictures from last weekend up on the mountain - Once again conditions were right for the red to come out in some of the Aspens. Hot days, cool nights, no hard frost. I noticed the reddest trees were the ones in full sunlight and the highest on the hill.

| Where There is Smoke; There's Supper! |
|
 |
| Our lot is in a little valley so the sunlight doesn't hit the Aspens all day. Not much Fall Action Here. |
|
 |
| A hint of things to come on the 2nd tree here. | | |
|
 |
| But farther Up the Hill - WoW Look at that Gold in them Hills! |
|
 |
| At the Top where the trees get the most sun---Red Leaves, a unusual color for Aspens. | |
|
 |
| I'm not sure the really red one is an Aspen but isn't this just beautiful? Or was it just a shadow from the pine deepening the color? Hummmm, mystery. |
 |
| These are all Aspens and all have a red tinge except maybe the 2nd tree from the right. | |

The View to the South
 |
| Shadows are getting long on the ol' campsite and all too soon it was time to pack up and go home. |

We leave for Maine on Friday. We are planning on visiting the Fryeburg Fair with the horse and oxen pulls and lumberjack contests. And of course, a trip to somewhere near the Ocean is in order also. And I will post pictures to the blog till you are alllllll bored to tears!
Happy Fall Y'all!
Hi Merideth what a beautiful part of the World you live in. Maine is one of the places I hope to visit eventually but not just yet. Hope you all have a lovely trip and can't wait to see the pictures, definitely not bored to tears. Susie x
ReplyDeleteOnly the cold night can give us those bright colors. The "View to the South" is stunning. Love the campfire. It all looks like "good times".
