This bridge is at Lake Chocorua in Tamworth, NH. We always stop here on the way up to the white mountains.

A bridge on the Kancamagus Highway:

Loon Mountain:

This bridge got wiped out by Hurricane Irene at the end of August:

As we passed through the white mountains it was evident that the leaves were starting to turn. In another week to two weeks it should be peaking.

The city of Berlin, NH is one of the first towns as you enter the Great North Woods. The colour here was pretty much peaking.

Route 16 about 15 miles south of Errol, NH.

The Androscoggin River, south of Errol, NH.

The sun disappeared at this point and the weather stayed gray and overcast for the rest of the weekend.

Dixville Notch.

Some amazing colour at The Balsalms Resort, Dixville Notch.

The colour along “Moose Alley” (Route 3) was spectacular. We only saw 6 moose on this trip but on this occasion the colour was the highlight of the weekend.

Moose Alley.

Magalloway Logging Road, leads miles into the woods from Moose Alley.

At the northern end of “Moose Alley” is the Canadian Border. Previously they allowed cars to turn around at the border entry point but this new sign has been placed at the 3rd Connecticut Lake for turnarounds. I am assuming you are still allowed to continue on to the border and park if you want to do the hike to the 4th Connecticut lake which starts behind the US Border house.

Scenic Route 145 from Pittsburg to Colebrook.

Fall Colour seen from Route 145.

Beaver Brook Falls in Colebrook, NH.

This tree in front of the Colebrook Public Library was an amazing shade of bright red.

Nice colour at a farm along Route 26.

Roadside leaf colour…

Our trip to Pittsburg, NH was certainly the prettiest one so far. The fall colour was spectacular and very hard to portray easily using photographs. We only saw 4 moose on this occasion. Bull moose are fully racked at this time of the year so it would have been great to have seen and photographed one. That coupled with the amazing colour would have made for a very nice photo! We shall try again next year I am sure and there is still a chance I might see one along the Kancamagus Highway before the fall is done.

Here is my first autumn picture of the year.

We took a scenic drive up to Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough, a great way of seeing Lake Winnipesaukee.

Also in Moultonborough is a very picturesque airfield. We stopped for a while to see this light aircraft take off.

After a visit to the “must see” Old Country Store, and a delicious lunch at Harts Turkey Farm Restaurant, we took a drive down the west side of the lake through Alton before returning home to the seacoast.

We spotted this heart shaped tree near the apartment before we left.

One of our first stops was at Otter Brook Dam in Roxbury, NH. The dam is part of a flood control network to protect the city of Keene from flooding from the Connecticut River.

A familiar site all over New England are covered bridges. This one is Coombs Covered Bridge in Winchester, NH:

A street which leads to the covered bridge.

On Sunday morning on my way into Keene I noticed an early morning mist at Wilson Pond in Swanzey.

Later the same morning we went for a picturesque walk around Goose Pond in Keene. The fall colour was very pretty and the setting, very peaceful.

I would not like to be anywhere near this tree when the beaver returns!

A beautiful Blue Jay made an appearance before we returned home. They are quite common in the state but I always seem to be without my camera when I see one! Was very happy to have captured this one.

And my favourite photo from the day, also from Goose Pond in Keene.

Later in the day the weather perked up and we drove around and took a few more photos, including some at Goose Pond.

Peak colour is coming soon to the seacoast area. Now when is my new camera going to arrive!
