And so it begins...


Can you find Winter in this picture?


How about here?


Ah, there it is, lurking in the first colors of Fall.

Fall is easily the best season here in the North Country. The colors can be extraordinary, it's football season, the air is crisp at night but comfortable during the day and everyone has that contented feeling from knowing the hay is in the barn and the hard work of Summer is over. The only problem with this is that you have to make a conscious effort to forget the fact that Winter, a hard Winter, is just around the corner. So we bask in the fleeting beauty and pleasantness of Fall while willfully ignoring what is just around the corner. In other news, I'm off to Africa today for a month. When I return the Fall colors will be at their peak (even if I'm not) and I promise everyone the full treatment of beautiful pictures. See you in a month!
