Obligatory Fall Color, 2013

Grab shot- Sitting on the couch, probably watching a football game, I noticed that a pin oak a few houses down was on fire.

Autumn Bouquet

Yesterday an image from my morning commute, and today, a photograph from my lunch break, this time with the "big gun".

How many species you can identify?  I don't have an answer...but I'm counting them up myself!

Snowfall on the Presidential Range

 

This afternoon, Megan and I hiked to the summit of Mount Pleasant, near Bridgton Maine. A 1.8 mile hike that ascends over 1500 feet, the view from the top of the mountain is spectacular. To the west lies the Presidential Range of New Hampshire, most famous for Mount Washington, home to the world's worst weather. And today was no exception. We were high above the hills of Maine and hovering in the low forties, but across the way on top of these mountains, it was snowing. The high temperature for Mountain Washington today was a cool 20 degrees, and when I just checked the temperature at 6:19 p.m. Wednesday evening, it was down to 10 degrees with a -16 windchill.

From our vantage point, the mountains were shrouded in what looked like icy, snowy fog, which was quite a contrast to the valley below that was experiencing the peak of autumn.

Autumn

The weather this past weekend was awesome. I had hoped to get a few pictures up sooner, but I had a little camera card mishap (thanks to Google Picassa) and spent most of last night recovering about 200 raw photo files. Fortunately, I was able to get all the images off the card thanks to Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery.

So here goes. A sampling of fall color from central Ohio:
