we had the fortune of visiting my brother in New Hampshire just around the time the foliage was at it's peak. it's a wonderful time of year with the crisp cool mountain air and the bright foliage shining in the sun and the muted fallen leaves covering the forest floor
red maple leaves are among the most colorful
the forest has a variety of both deciduous and evergreen trees and plenty of water, from tiny streams flowing down the hillsides to rivers cascading down the mountains
a beech leaf catching some of its last rays
oak leaves aren't among the brightest
wood sorrel and moss add green to the mix on the ground
