New England Leaf-Peeping


In October, Charlie and I took our long-awaited leaf-peeping vacation to New England. We flew into Providence and then over the course of the following week, drove north to Freeport, Maine. On the way, we stopped in Newport, Rhode Island and visited the beautiful mansions of the Gilded Age. Newport is a lovely town and this was one of our favorite stops. We drove out to Cape Cod and farther north, took in Massachusetts intense foliage and amazing cranberry bogs. Toward the end of the week, Maine’s gorgeous coastline was truly the highlight. Lighthouse after lighthouse spotted the landscape and we ate some fabulous lobster. It was a wonderfully relaxing week and provided several great photography opportunities.
