The sun coming up over the White Mountains.

And the Green Mountains (at least some Vermont hills).

A hilltop behind Phil's farm with exotic fauna.

The view east & south from the top of the hill. The view from the camp.

We went to visit our friend Phil at his farm in Vermont. Here's the house -

I typically think of burning bush as a weed, but it sure does the fall color thing well.

Here's an interesting leaf - it couldn't decide, so it went bi-color. The leaves this year have a lot of disease, probably from the wet summer. And they've been turning fast, maybe from the dry weather in August and September. But beautiful nonetheless ...

Here's another view from Puzzle Mountain showing some early fall color. It's more or less peaking right now, three weeks later.

We climbed Puzzle Mountain in the Bethel area today. An awesome hike! Nice woods, interesting rocks, great views. I was hoping to post a video of the panorama, but the file turned out to be too big to post here. So here are some stills ...

We hiked Katahdin in Baxter State Park on June 13. Turns out it was the nicest day all month! The mountain -

We climbed it last weekend. It's a ski hill, which meant for wide open trails. It was windy & snowy, but a great hike.

The Appalachian Trail traverses Saddleback ...

It was definitely alpine at the top.

A recent trip to Camden Hills state park. A couple of gray-day views from Bald mountain.

Yours truly atop Bald Mountain.

Skiing in the White Mountains, we saw this storm on one of the upper slopes. The trees were all white with snow, but where we were there was none.

These photos were taken Saturday on a trip to Morse Mountain in Phippsburg. A very special place maintained by The Nature Conservancy, Bates College, and the St. John family. It's a 2-mile walk through the woods, across an estuary, and over a hill to a spectacular beach. Here's the view from the top of the hill.

It was cold. This spot overlooks the estuary.

A favorite tree, right next to the spot where I took the previous photo.

Finally, the beach.

I love the beach grass this time of year.

November surf, taken a year ago. It wasn't quite so dramatic this time around.
