Images from New England fall 2005
Recently returned from almost 3 weeks in N.E. ... pretty disappointing
trip because of the weather and lack of vibrant colors ... the first week (White Mountains of New Hampshire) it was very hot, typically 82-85 F for the highs compared to the usual 55 F. Mt. Washington reported the highest Oct temps in history for example ... this heat and earlier summer drought meant many trees dropped leaves, some changed to brown or bland yellow, and only a few changed to reds and oranges, which is what we were after. Managed to find a couple of spots for moose and a loon pair (chick and adult) but not much else this first week. Then a cold front moving across the Rockies and Great Plains slammed into bands of moisture spun off by tropical storms and hurricanes from the south and around Oct 8 the rains began, dropping record amounts across the areas we were in and flooding rivers and some bridges. We spent most of this period in Maine between Millinocket and Greenville, then to Acadia, with little to show for it. Anyway, here are some of the shots we managed to get ... click on the image to go to a page of thumbnails ... http://members.aol.com/bhilton665/fc2005/loon_T4349.htm Bill |

We did have a wonderful fall after a time. You are right, early on, it did rain and even snow up in the forests but after that, we had a 3 week run of nice weather and scattered clouds to grace our shots. You get out this way for any reason, look me up. I can show you around to some neat places that are not on the "photgrapher's map". My wife and I went through a fair bit of Velvia and have some neat shots. If I can get them scanned, i will post a few. F1 -- Message posted via http://www.photokb.com |
