Sue and the gals had their weekly park kaffeeklatsch on Tuesday. (You know where this is going, don't you?)
As I often do, I wandered about taking pictures. First, I spotted some high school students taking a little break, probably in their spare period.
Not far from the ladies, I appreciated the two-tone tree. (If you can spot a red coat way off to the right, that is one of the kaffeeklatsch gals. Hard to see at this resolution, I know; I had to zoom in on the full res version to make sure.))
On this occasion, I went back to the car and drove to the far edge of the park. My intention was to visit the next park over, but I didn't get that far.
Instead I took a photo of the riverbank just south of the boat launch. I don't think I have ever peeked around this corner in autumn, and I was pleasantly surprised. I do admit to jazzing up this photo to bring out the the most colour possible. The colours were not that vibrant in reality. They were there, of course; I didn't invent them but just emphasized them.
From a nearby road, I have two photos that include goldenrods doing their wonderful thing.
This is the brief time of year when usually banal scenes do their best to light up our lives.
This is indeed the most colorful season and New England colors are just starting in some areas, the ladies look well bundled for their get together.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I never get tired of looking at trees wearing their colors. The shot of the river with reflections really pops. But I never would consider a log house as banal. Maybe a subdivision, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! There are photos for framing here, AC.
ReplyDeleteWe have the goldenrod, but not this much fall color yet....And now it is getting warmer again. I do love seeing your photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't that the squirrel over on the far left about midway?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Your wife and her friends must be freezing to wear such heavy clothing. Here in Hawaii, it is still very hot. We wouldn't dream of wearing a sweater outdoors.
ReplyDeleteSuch peaceful and lovely photos. I love the feeling that you've captured in these shots.
ReplyDeleteThat orange against the blue is just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colours!
ReplyDeleteFall has arrived up there! Beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I've ever applied "banal" to scenery.
ReplyDeleteLovely fall colors there. We took a drive today and were surprises how much has changed in a week's time.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are outstanding with all the pops of fall colors and I like that the gals got together in a scenic spot.
ReplyDeleteStunning banality. :) boy, that's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe colours really are starting to get deep and rich. One of my sisters-in-law was here yesterday with her husband for lunch on the patio, and I noticed how the Sugar Maple in the backyard is really starting ti change. No leaf drop yet but that can't be far behind.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as always. It's a great park.
ReplyDeleteThat sky! Those colors! And the last two shots might have been taken in my neck of the woods.
