I've headed south for the season, but birch, ash, hickory and quaking aspen start dropping their bright yellow leaves about now.
It was quite the sensation to have the morning sun reflect off our forest floor and illuminate the interior of our cottage with a bright yellow glow. (And I mean
fluorescent-bright).
When the season is at its height, you don't need to drive far from Lake Winnipesaukee to see an intensely-bright shimmering of colors. Just east of the lake and north of Rochester will take you through old-time curvy NH roadways--like Rt. 153.
On windy days, the flow of bright dropped leaves across the road is transfixing!
