<p>One of my absolute favorite subjects. Yankee Magazine just named the town just north of me as the best fall foliage town in New England, which got me thinking. </p>

<p>New England winters can suck, but if we can recall the fall, they are easier to get through. Unfortunately, last years autumn was very poor, and this year is shaping up to be much worse. Too hot (30 days over 90* in Hartford so far this year) and too dry. Many trees are turning and dropping leaves already. I hope we get some cooler temps and moderate rainfall for the next month, otherwise the leaves will go from green to brown to down in a day.</p>

<p>Here are some shots from two years ago. I hope to get some shots like these in the next few months.</p>
