A more perfect fall day I can not remember. Cool weather, clear skies, and autumn color in full glory.  I made an afternoon excursion to Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey, NH stopping frequently to take photographs along the way.

I paused for an hour to climb the tiny (1832 feet tall) Mount Watatic. Views from the summit were somewhat limited although I did manage the shot below, taken through a gap in the trees. Fall colors this year are outstanding, perhaps due to the severe drought.  I can’t recall a time when the full spectrum of hues were so abundantly present.

By the time I reached Mount Monadnock it was too late in the day to climb so I had to settle for a photograph of the mountain itself.
