Finally got to processing our fall foliage photos. It was not a great fall foliage year in New England because of drought and funny temperature trends. This tends to result in extremely localized color (and this year, a lot less bright orange color), but there's always something good to photograph.
The first day of the first week of our trip we found pockets of color around Mount Washington in New Hampshire, including this ridge of Wildcat Mountain.

I captured the silhouettes of pine trees up against a colorful ridge.

The lower slopes of Mount Washington had some nice color, including some oranges; the higher elevations are survivable only by evergreens.

A small pond on Route 16 provided foreground for a colorful ridge that was near peak. But on the ridges on the other side on the pond, there were either orange-brown or yellow-leafed trees.

To close out this set, a nice orange tree in Sentinel Rock State Park in Vermont. The hills in the distance are normally glowing with orange color; the rusty colors and blue skies provide a nice background for this tree.
