Who Loves Fall ? Me !

That old school building is now being used for arts and crafts.

 

I too love fall. Being afield hunting deer, enjoying a coffee on a cold morning, cutting and splitting in the cool air, foliage, bonfires and hard cider with friends, fresh venison, the resumption of indoor fires. I love it all.

 

I am taken with the feeling or motivation to put-up, put-back, the harvest, or otherwise put away for the winter cold months.
All summer I've worked at getting things in shape for colder dormant season. wood is almost completely laid in, with indoor wood to be put up after the freeze.
Salt was purchased a couple months ago, chimney cleaned, some food storage and other consumables are socked away.
Makes me want to move North where snow and big storms still happen, and where being stuck at home for a few days is a more regular occurrence.
Either way, a season's preparing is coming to a close with only a few items left, and a few already being enjoyed (wood stove).
Now its time to sit back and enjoy.

 

Definitely my favorite time of the year, although living in the heart of the White Mountains I guess we sometimes take the foliage for granted. I'm sure some people will recognize the hairpin curve by the Hancocks on the Kancamagus Highway as well as the Conway Scenic Railroad on the Frankenstein Trestle, which is only about 10-15 minutes up the road from me (friends of mine handle the meals for their dinner trains). Best time of the year to be on the back roads scrounging firewood.

 

Only thing missing in that last picture is a moose!

 

Found some nice buck rubs too !

 

Storms are starting to take the leaves off quicker.

 

I know you like the lemon lime look but that first picture of the orange tree is spectacular. Of course, orange is my favourite colour.

 

Glad I could get you favorite in there ! Things are starting to change to those colors more. I'm gonna hang onto L/L as long as I can !

 

Thanks a lot! I just fell over backwards again!

 

A few orange-ish pics

 

HoneyFuzz Nice pics. I enjoyed seeing them.

 

Here are some pics from awhile back.


This is out where in the woods. It was an overcast day and didn't do the colors justice. The last pic is an abandoned beaver pond that left quite a washout across the road.

 

Beautiful!

 

June 22nd in the UP is gorgeous!

 

That and the overcast skies weren't from rain clouds.....No sir! They're from mosquitos!

I take it you've been here before, huh?
