Taking in Cadillac Mountain

Fall in New England is a photographer’s dream come true. The window of opportunity is often brief when trying to time blue skies, cool temperatures and free weekends. So here are my top picks for spots to visit when the moment presents itself for optimal shooting and general jaw dropping awe at the beauty that is Mother Nature:

CONNECTICUT:

Heublein Tower – Talcott Notch State Park, Simsbury

MAINE:

MASSACHUSETTS:

NEW HAMPSHIRE:

RHODE ISLAND:

VERMONT:

All of these beautiful spots are accessible by car so you don’t have to lug your camera equipment up and down lengthy terrain to capture those perfect photos. But if you want to take a hike, that option is available as well. Peak leaf peeping season starts late September in north country and makes its way down to the southern regions during mid to late October.
