Vermont - Fall 2013

 Fall colors have come a week or more early in most of New England.  Most tourist areas will be past peak foliage color by Columbus Day.Took a trip up north to Vermont this pst weekend - the Ludlow and Woodstock areas.  Grey skies, rain and fog were in the forecast and for a change the weather man was on the money.One must make the best of every opportunity and the Okemo mountain region offered the best fog images.      

New Hampshire Fall Workshop Report

Overall the workshop turned out great.  Friday was a bit of a disapointment with very little color along the Kankamagus Higway.  The second day we went up North through Bethlehem, Lancaster, Stark and Gorham.  The foliage was good as were the birch trees in Gorham.    Day three was also up North but not as far as the previous day. Most of the time we explored the Crawford Notch area and ended the day in Pinkham Notch.  Columbus day was spent on the Kankamagus which was now in full glory.  What a dramatic change in two days. Speaking to friend and fell photographer who had gone up yesterday - the colors are gone and the trees are brown.  This is the strangest and most rapid change-over I have ever seen.Here are some images from the trip:[slideshow]
