The Stunning Fall Colors of New England

Walking in a Fall Fantasyland

​Our Columbus Day weekend had bright Fall weather, so we went for a drive and a hike in the local area to take some photos of all the beautiful colors.  Then Wednesday, since it appeared that it might be the last good weather day before some rain arrived and the Fall leaves really started to drop off the trees,  we got out and spent a few hours hiking to some of the more out of the way places near us.
 
As if the Fall leaf colors weren’t enough, we even saw a group of turkeys out for a stroll. It's always funny. We see the turkeys in October and early November - but the week before Thanksgiving they all seem to disappear; I think that they have that week marked on their calendar and go hide out.
 
“Leaf Peepers” travel from all over the world to see New England’s amazing colors in the Fall - all we have to do is hike in our town and the surrounding areas.......
 
Here are a few photos that attempt to capture the breathtaking beauty of nature. ​​(click on any photo to start the slideshow):
