Change of Colors, Change of Mind

I returned to Abilene Tuesday from my trip to New England. My family and I visited my aunt and uncle in New Hampshire. You may have heard about or seen the "change of colors" that come about this time of year in the Northeast. It's true what they say--incredible! As a lover of nature, it takes far less than a solar eclipse to take my breath away.

The trees were brilliant in musters of red, yellow and fluorescent orange. Their height made the tincture all the more splendid. I could, at this time, pull from my poetry pocket and compose for you a bit on how my time up North made my life more chromatic. Instead, I'll just show you the pictures. Keep in mind, these pictures were all taken on an IPhone. Pictures cannot bring justice to the awe to be had when perceived by the naked eye.

During our time in New England, we spent an evening in Salem (famous for witch trials and The Scarlett Letter), took a day trip to the Maine coast (GORGEOUS), took a day trip to Cambridge/Boston and spent an afternoon at Robert Frost's farm (he wrote some of his greatest works there).

While I had a great time walking in technicolor with temperatures in the upper 50s, it felt good coming home to Abilene.
