In Maine Sarah, a professional writer and blogger of Sarah Laurence Blog, takes us on a weekend hiking trip into the mountains of Maine. The photographs of fall colors in Maine are simply stunning. While the climb itself might take your breath away the views would do the same. The red and gold of the leaves stand out from the rocky mountainside that her family climbed. The journey to that vista would be well worth the effort!
The next stop on the fall color tour takes us to Ithaca, New York and the blog Ellis Hollow written by Craig. Craig has offered up several posts that characterize fall so well. From the frost covered foliage to the flame colored ivy crawling and cascading on the buildings around Cornell University there is plenty to see. Back lit ornamental grasses, seed heads and frosted flowers will fill you with a wonderful vision of fall in all its many facets.

I’m not tired of the Autumn colors yet–keep them coming. Thank you all for such great post.
Thanks for performing this community service Dave.
I never tire of fall color! These both look like amazing posts — I’ve put shortcuts on my desktop so I can devour them later. 🙂 Your Fall Color Project has been wonderful, Dave.
Dave, thanks for the link and hosting the fall color project. I’m looking forward to visiting more posts.
I noticed on your profile that you are a stay-at-home father. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for 14 years and started working from home when my youngest was in pre-school school. It’s great to have a parent at home. I’m sure your kids and garden are thriving. I wish blogging had been around when the kids were little as it can get lonely not talking to grown ups. I’m so glad I had that time at home with them.
Anna,
Will do!
Craig,
You’re welcome, it’s been a lot of fun so far!
Nancy,
It really is pretty amazing how much you can see in this world by blogging isn’t it?
Sarah,
Adult interaction is definitely the one downside but there are so many upsides to having a parent at home. It’s been two years since I began staying at home with the kids, then it was one now it’s two, and we don’t regret it!
