Fall Foliage Roadtrip, Part Two

All too soon it was Wednesday morning, and time to leave the mountains and head east for the ocean. There was a little snow to see me off for the first short leg of the journey. A little bit of that is visible here.

Snow shrouds the top of Blue Mountain.

Even crossing the shoulder of Blue Mountain, the snow was little more than set dressing...and just a little early in the season for my taste. Glad to say the weather improved as I moved to lower altitudes.

A little bit of autumn orange remains on this ridge outside of North Creek.

As I drove alongside the sweep of the Hudson River, the sun began to come out, and while there was still a little chill in the air, the snow was now a distant thing (tho still visible on the distant mountaintop).

In fact, it turned out to be a beautiful day for driving.

The angle of the autumn sun was just right for showing off the bright colors of the Berkshires as I picked up the Mass Pike later in the day.
