Long Overdue Post

Red Maple At Appalachian Trail

I admit, I've been procrastinating with new posts. A remarkably vibrant Autumn came and I didn't want to blink for fear of missing it. And then I've been doing more evening hikes - bad conditions for photography with my camera.

The literally cloudy image here was taken from the top of Kidder Mountain in Temple NH about a month ago. When I began the hike, it was blue sky and brisk. When I reached the top, this rain moved in. Click the photo to enlarge and you'll see the dark gray bands of rain hitting nearby Temple Mountain (before progressing into a thunderstorm and hitting the mountain I stood atop).



The next image is another shot from Kidder Mountain, before the rain struck. There's nothing too spectacular about this image other than, if you click to enlarge it, you can see the shining windows of the Prudential Tower (skyscraper) in Boston Massachusetts, about 60 miles away. This is the shining dot in the distance. If you have good eyesight, you can make out the shadows of all the other skyscrapers too.

The next image is what I opined to be a nice, quaint shot of the gardens of Beaver Brook in Hollis during the fall festival this year. So until I can format all the other photos I have taken over the past month, this is all I have to share for now. :)
