Arguably my favorite thing about living in New England is that we enjoy four full seasons, autumn being my favorite. At this time of year the changing colors of the trees is a spectacle to behold. The combination of ideal weather and peak color in New Hampshire motivated me to take the day off for a photographic outing. Kyle joined me on the 14 hour excursion starting at 6AM during which we covering 380 miles. Unlike most of the photos I post on my blog, these really need to be viewed at maximum resolution to be fully appreciated.

Thursday evenings during the spring and fall are reserved for soccer practice with my over-50 men’s team.  When I saw the way the lights were shining through the mist that covered the pitch, I grabbed my camera for a quick photo. I was really glad I did when I saw how well it captured the feeling in the air.  As the season progresses it becomes increasingly difficult to drag myself out of the house and into the cold night air but I always feel invigorated after a good workout.

Six years ago I was contacted by a publisher of English as a second language textbooks for permission to use my photos and Nico’s Kilimanjaro story in one of their texts.  My only request at the time was to receive a copy of the book when it went to print.  To my amazement, having assumed the project never reached fruition, the book arrived in the mail today.  As I understand it, this is now the official textbook used to teach English to sixth-grade students in Israeli public schools.
