Colour at Riverside Park

The fotos are coming fast and furious these days. I know that they are always plentiful here at The AC is On, but autumn comes so quickly and gloriously that an old AC can't help going even more overboard than usual.

That said however, I wasn't expecting to do a photoshoot when we dropped by the park on Wednesday. We had run some errands and, almost as an afterthought, had picked up coffee and decided to consume it at Riverside. But we were hit by colour immediately upon exiting Hermione the Honda. I took this photo about 6' away from the car.


And we weren't much farther in when I took this one. How could I not?


We sat on a bench consuming our coffee. The view on the far bank was good, and I sneakily photographed a few passersby. While I wouldn't put sneaky photos on FB, they are really anonymous to all of you far-flung folk, and they aren't really recognizable from the sideview anyway.



Then I saw this funny, old lady with her call phone.


Once we had finished our drinks, we decided to stretch our legs and saunter to the western edge of the park. Benches were occupied, and I like people on benches. If nothing else, they are useful for the Monday bench theme that I sometimes post to on Flickr.

  4. Looks like your grandson on that last bench. Your leaves are peaking well. Lots of leaves down now with our rainstorm. We got 3 inches! Heading off to Maine so hope to get some beautiful fall photos there.

  12. Very colorful--and I love the leaves on the ground too. We're not at that stage yet here. It's still pretty warm.

  14. Wow! Although of a very similar latitude to you, we do not yet have any trees that have released their leaves yet, although many are changing color.

    Your photographs are beautiful. Which camera did you use for these images?

  16. Goodness those pictures are awesome. I'm sure that bench gets a lot of time on it because that's a really nice place to sit and just relax it looks like.

  19. Wow! Gorgeous fall photos. I love them. I do miss seeing fall colors. We've been going overseas in spring so we've missed fall. Hmmm... something to aim for when we go on our next trip.
