We drove west to Fryeburg the other day for the last fair of the agricultural season.

.

.

It’s always a gorgeous drive this time of year…

.

.

But due to the ongoing lack of rain and drought conditions the leaves weren’t nearly as bright.

.

.

Patches of color, yes.

.

.

But the trees have been stressed this year.

.

.

They started turning early and in much more muted shades.

.

.

Disappointing.

.

.

But still scenic.
