Up here in the White Mountains the foliage colors are coming on early this year. The early colors are usually the reds followed by the orange and yellows. The hotels and restaurants are booked more heavily in the foliage season than any other time of year.

I lost all my beautiful New Guinea Impatiens about a month early this year (2014). This loss is due mainly to one exceptionally cold night that most likely also triggered some of the early color changes taking place in front of my desk in in Autumn 2014.

I've not yet archived my Autumn 2014 pictures. Hence many of the pictures below are from Autumn 2013 that I've not previously copied into my tidbits files. The foliage in Fall 2014 is more spectacular than in 2013 or any other year that I can remember in the White Mountains.

This is one of the best pictures I ever captured.
It's appropriate that above my flag is a mountain named Washington.

This shot was taken while I was standing by our mailbox

A zoomed shot from my office window

This is how it looks unzoomed
From left to right it are the two Twin Mountains, Mt. Garfield, and Mt. Lafayette

Our driveway as seen from our north deck

This is a shot of our westward deck

These are the birch trees outside our garage door

I use a tarp to keep moisture out of the center of this old maple tree

The hill in the background is called Ore Hill
Iron mines now boarded up once yielded iron ore that was packed on the backs of mules
The mules carried the ore to a smelter where fine Franconia Iron stoves were made in the 1800s

This is another view of Ore Hill in foliage season
The North Kinsman mountain is in the background
This shot was taken from our mailbox

The historic name for our cottage is Brayton Cottage in the 1900s when it was part of a resort

Winter was hard on this cranberry bush that we eventually lost in 2014

In 2012 we had a disastrous late snow storm on Memorial Day that toppled tree tops
Below is a tree top that still lays far off the ground on other trees in our woods
I don't know how to safely get this broken tree top to the ground.

This is a maple tree in our wildflower field

Sunrise shot of our birch grove

This is the view to the west toward Vermont from our bedroom

My friend and former colleague Ben Plumber took this picture while visiting New Hampshire

It won't be long until we see snow on Mt. Washington

This is one of the best pictures I ever captured.
It's appropriate that above my flag is a mountain named Washington.
