10/12: Fall colors
For the first time in lo these many years, we didn't have to juggle my fall break with the kids' (nonexistent) fall break. So my husband and I hit the road and drove to New England for fall break. Yes, we did stop off on the way to visit the younger son (a freshman in college) - took him out to dinner and to a movie. After that, we drove to the family's summer place, a small house on an island on a lake in southern NH. An incredibly serene place to spend a few days, hiking and kayacking.
It's been more than 20 years since we've been able to spend autumn in New England. Even though we were about a week past the peak fall colors, they were still spectacular. The weather could have been better, but the dogs didn't care. They were just happy to get up with me at dawn (er, to get ME up) to enjoy "golden hour".
Good boy, Duncan - he was willing to sit still enough in dim early morning light to allow me to capture his portrait, This one was taken at 1/40s, but I had others that were as sharply in focus at 1/25s. I just liked his expression best in this one.
