We were hoping to get to see the vivid colours of the fall as we drove through New England, although we knew we were arriving towards the end of the season. While the trees in the mountains have been largely bare, we were lucky enough to catch Maine still in bloom, so to speak.
The variety of colours is really amazing – bright reds and yellows, deep oranges and crusty orange browns of leaves that have almost finished for the season. It’s really nice to be driving under such a colourful canopy. Sometimes when the wind picks up, you end up driving through a thick shower of falling deep orange leaves.
Catching good photos of the leaves can be tricky, but here are a few we prepared earlier:
One of countless beautiful houses in Maine
The entrance to our hotel in Bar Harbor, Maine
Awesome. I remember being worried that you'd miss all the leaves, and it looks like you got there just at the right time. Very jealous.
ReplyDeleteAlso Niall, I'm dissapointed - there really needs to be more tree/leaves puns. I hope you remedy this post haste.
We have been using the classic "Make like a tree... and get out of here" a lot. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI will make the greatest effort to improve the pun situation here, let me leave you in no doubt of that.
Niall, stop photoshoping all this photos, we can see that you insert fake trees inside...
