Fall Season – Page 2 – New England's Narrow Road

Late Fall Photography

The leaves have all turned to gold and brown now in southern New Hampshire. I had been wanting to hike out on the Girl Scout Camp property and get a shot of this dried up lake view.

This is one of the cabins where the girls hang out. I don’t know if they actually sleep out in this part of the camp – it is way out in the middle of nowhere – and I would think it would be a bit creepy at night, but there are signs of a campfire and someone carved a chair into the remaining trunk of a fallen tree.

The carved “log chair” faces this view.

What kind of Seed/ Nut is This?

I am showing my stupidity here…but haven’t lived in the northeast long enough to learn all my tree names. I found a bunch of these “nut shells” on my neighbor’s property when I went to feed their chickens while they were away. I forgot to ask what they were, so I’ll ask here.

Since Beech trees are abundant, I thought maybe a Beech nut although I don’t know what those are. Then I remembered back to when I used to hike to Mill Hill in my childhood and there was a lone chestnut tree up there and thought maybe this was a chestnut shell – I saw no sign of any chestnuts near these pods though.

I thought I’d get a photo of them just for fun. I suppose some animal had eaten what was once inside.

Fall Colors at The Girl Scout Camp

Our little town has a Girl Scout Camp that runs along one side of the lake. It’s a beautiful area and those Girl Scouts are lucky!

All summer the Camp is off limits to any of us “non-girl scouts”, but now that the girls are gone, we locals can walk our dogs or hike on the property.

There is a beautiful beach area and I noticed that some new benches have been added.

This area of the camp seems to be where they all gather for something. Of course I have no idea what, but it looks like they have a fire and sit on these “seats”. Maybe they sing songs and sacrifice old counselors.

Even though we have had a lot of wind and rain lately the color seems to be hanging on. The Camp caretakers will plow the road when snow falls so we can continue to enjoy our walks.
The camp is beautiful at all times of the year.

New England Foliage Photos – 2009 Season Begins in NH

I just took these photos a few days ago – the end of September, 2009. The best color is along the swampy areas with just a few other trees beginning to change.
