The Foliage Experience by Jeff Foliage
This is a short piece on some thoughts about our foliage experience that I feel you need to keep in mind. There are no scenic trails or cute towns listed below. Just my thoughts on what you need to take into consideration when approaching your autumn trips to New England.
This is the way
The Foliage Experience
I try to tell people not to focus on all that can go wrong because it will go wrong (something always does). Instead, you have to make your plans and then take what happens. (It’s the journey, not the destination)
We can’t control most of what happens in our lives, so let’s make plans for the trip and embrace whatever unfolds as a memory during this journey we call life.
There are ONLY so many hours in a day… Don’t fill your day up to the brim so that you can’t relax at different points during each day of YOUR vacation. The point of a “Vacation” IS to relax…
Please share your experience of the day with those you are with and see what it looked like through their eyes.
Sharing the experience will make it so much more special.

Hi Jeff, If someone who lives in a part of the country where seasons don’t change and they have no foliage, I can definitely sympathize with them if they come over this way and it’s a very bad foliage year, or they’ve come too early or too late. But, as you say, there will always be something to see in beautiful New England. Visit the coast, where the visual success of your trip doesn’t depend on foliage at all. As a photographer, I don’t believe the saying “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Rather, “Figure out how to photograph the lemons.” My last two trips to RI have been during or immediately following one of their mega rain and wind events. I now have an extensive collection of natural disaster photographs, including some of the Maidford River which normally you wouldn’t even notice, but then resembled a raging torrent.
