Autumn road in Connecticut

Today is a lovely sunny autumn day on the east coast. Leaves are just starting to change and there is a slight chill in the air.

The above photograph is from a genealogy adventure to Connecticut. We stopped along the road to capture this taste of fall in New England. Would follow this road any day of the week.
