the last of the leaves, the ending of autumn

The leaves have all officially fallen at our house! Here is a pic of our boys in our front yard before the last and final big leaf clean up. Believe it or not, my sweet hubby cleaned up the yards (front and back) several times this fall, only to have it look like this again…

75 minutes in Portland, Maine

OK, so the photos from  my last post in New Hampshire were actually taken the same day as these here in Portland, Maine, but I’m pretending we spent another day there. We had spent the entire day driving and exploring and hiking New Hampshire, even the whole Mount Washington adventure, and then decided (or should…

New Hampster

    I am from NH and miss that magical time of Fall foliage. Your pictures capture all the beauty and magic of that time of year up there. I know what you mean by not getting enough of them. Fall in NH is NEVER boring! And, the moose picture is awesome, too. Your pictures brought me back home…..I live in Texas right now… Thank you!ReplyCancel
