Autumn pumpkin picking in New England

My girlfriend and I took the P200 on a wonderful country ride today to get out of the city and pick ourselves up a pumpkin to carve for halloween.
The farm we went to was fairly commercial - they had a small grocery store selling bananas on the site. But it was one of the few places in the area which let you go into the field to pick your pumpkin, rather than just having them prepicked at a stand.

The ride was wonderful - high 60s, mostly sunny, and the leaves were really starting to near full bloom!

Here's a picture of my girlfriend with the scooter at the farm:

The pumpkin patch. Look at that sky!
We found a decent little pumpkin we'd be able to carry back. Here's our catch on Old Rusty!
The clouds there were pretty interesting - their passing constantly changed the perception of the fall colors
Here are some of the beautiful fall colors we saw!
