The weekend before Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, my husband and I drove up to the Boston area to visit some of our children. We try to get up there every October to see the fall foliage. Though nothing can match the beauty of the leaves a few years ago, we were not disappointed by this trip. We drove to an apple orchard and then to the Crane Estate on Plum Island. I wanted to share a few pictures with you.

Beautiful series of photos, Susan. Crane Estate looks like such a lovely place. Is that a henge in the third photo?
It certainly looks like some sort of henge, Robin, but it was an old rosé garden.
there is absoutely nothing more beautiful than autumn in New England. The photos are gorgeous. I hope your family is safe and well after Sandy. DAF
I agree, DAF. Our leaves were pretty here in our area of Virginia, but not nearly as colorful as the Boston area.
Autumn leaves are so beautiful, aren´t they?
Lovely photographs 🙂
Thanks, Marianne. I missed all this color when we lived in Texas, so I’m savoring it now.
Beautiful, Susan! I particularly enjoy the red 🙂 Good to see you again.
Thanks, Stacia. I’ve missed everybody.
Wonderful pictures. the place looks idyllic! thanks for sharing these peaceful and relaxing shots of a beautiful part of the world.
So much different from your neck of the woods, huh, Ken?
Oh very different indeed!
Beautiful. The estate buildings remind me of an estate we saw in Ireland at Bunratty castle.
I know, HG. Doesn’t look like the good ol’ USA, does it?
The red ivy is striking! Love the following shot with the water, too. What a lovely estate.
Yes, I love the red ivy, too, Patti.
Amazing photos! The colors are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Dianna. When we lived in Texas, I missed big trees and fall foliage.
Beautiful, poetic shots! Thank you for sharing, Susan!
Quite a bit different from San Antonio, huh?
To say the least… 😉 So glad you’re back!
Good to be back, Amy. Thank you.
Enjoyed the fall pictures! I have never seen this awesome season! You are specially blessed!
Yes, Shofar, your scenery is quite different! But also beautiful.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Bro!
This is even more beautiful than you and George described, Susan. Gorgeous pictures. Makes me want to go there.
You and Patty should plan a fall trip for next year. We’ll give you some suggestions on where to go and what to see.
Very different and gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Dor. It’s a beautiful part of the country.
Very easy on the eyes indeed! The red on the tower is an incredible site.
You never think of ivy turning red in the fall, but this particular variety gave us quite a show, Life.
as usual you are right on the button, this is a beautiful place. BTW I hope your family was all safe and sound after the storm. HUGS
Hubby and I had no problem at all in Virginia, and our Boston and Michigan children were fine as well. We do have family inConnecticut, however, who are still without power, but at least they didn’t have the terrible water damage like the folks in New York andNew Jersey. What a horrendous situation.
I’ve been through some dreadful natural disasters but none was as awful. Thinking of you all.
Yes, my heart goes out to all those people who are suffering, GCB. Another storm is headed their way, though nowhere near the intensity of Sandy. But it will just add to their misery, which they certainly don’t need right now.
