JJS, those flowers look like astors, common autumn wildflowers in New England and quite lovely! Your pics could have been done along our rides this week.
From four days ago. First spin around Acadia's PLR on the Masi, and the climb up Cadillac Mountain.
For a sense of the geography, overlooking Otter Cliffs on the PLR
The Masi at rest (just like the tandem)
