~UPDATED~ Let the oohs and awws begins...the fall foliage has begun!

People come from miles away, sometime even out of the country or from all over the world to take in the what I consider the beautiful splendor of earth tone colored rainbow, that is the fall foliage. The best thing for me... having it all right in my own back yard! Back yard of course being literally behind my house but also including the easy accessibility  to go seeing it all anywhere among in the entire New Hampshire state. 

I went on a very tranquil and relaxing kayaking trip with my sister-in-life, Pauline. Our little excursion brought was at the Gilman State Park in this small quaint and scenic little town of Exeter. It is the first town I had ever been to that has a band stand dead smack in the middle of its main city streets that are filled with equally impressive  and very uniquely design store front shops. All the store are small in size but big in grandeur at how they just captured my eyes. Some of the stores had picture windows showing their wares for sale and others with old fashion hanging signs to draw a patron attentions. As I drove by them all, I found myself having to be mindful to keep my eyes on the road and not to drive too slow or stare too long at any one local; safe driving practices and all. But I am getting side track for the real purpose of this post...the kayak trip and fall foliage. The wonders of the scenic downtown, Exeter, will just have to wait for another post of a trip for me to photograph and share. I know, I know, I want to take photos of that town full of scenes like eye candy to me, as much as you would like to see them; next time though.
This time, you get to see the best of selection out of over a hundred images (with more to come as I go through them) to see today.
UPDATE: Here is a link to an album on Facebook, where you can see even more images you do not want to miss! "Hey, click here for more foliage and town eye candy!"
