Snow, sand, and leaves. Whoopie pies, lobster rolls, and ice cream. Barns, boats, and bright doors. Mountains, woods, and ocean. New England is a large region with an unending amount of beauty to explore and discover – and constantly transforming with every season. Things can change from year to year, but living or visiting here never gets old. To celebrate the New Year, we’ve chosen some of our favorite Instagram feed images from 2016 to share!
