Friday was one of those very wonderful autumn or late summer days that we value so much after a very hot summer and before a long, cold winter. There was the right amount of sun, breeze and temperature. The day took us to Riverside Park where we sat on a park bench as much as we walked.
The first thing we noted after parking were the reflections in the almost still water under the clear, blue sky.
Two geese assumed statuary positions.
Autumn orange was beginning its ascendancy.
We sat on a bench and looked at the students on their lunch hour on a bench under the changing tree (above). Farther down (below) a group of girls sat on the deck of the boat launch. Do these students know how lucky they are to have such a schoolyard on such a glorious day?
It was a grand day and time for another selfie. We had gone few days without, after all.

Hi there |
A body of water still enough to cast perfect reflections is a marvelous thing. For me, it doesn't matter what the reflection is, just that it is a perfect reflection upon water.
ReplyDeleteYou are an early riser. It’s not even 6.
DeleteSometimes my mind doesn't cooperate with my desire to sleep later.
DeleteJust about every day for me. :(
DeleteBeautiful series, Canada geese and reflections is amazing. Love ❤️ the selfie as well.
ReplyDeleteHello AC,
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. A wondeful place to be and enjoy of a good view.
Nice shot of the geese with a gwonderful reflection.
Greetings, Marco
What a calm day on the water, with beautiful focal points...from geese to young people...to slightly older people! Young at heart for sure. So glad you have such a beautiful spot to enjoy by the water.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! It looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThe calm water and clear blue sky. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos from a wonderful walk... may we have many more such glorious late summer days... and a beautiful autumn is also welcome.
ReplyDeleteBest, Viola
Glad you have nice weather. We had an inch and a half of rain overnight so the farmer in my house is pretty stressed. Can't combine! Can't dig potatoes! Ermehgerd!
ReplyDeleteWe are experiencing warmer temps this week into the mid 80s a couple of days mid-week, so cooler temps would be welcomed.
ReplyDeleteWe are having the same beautiful weather which I really can't complain about. But ... we sure need a few rainy days! Your photos are lovely. So nice to have that body of water close by.
ReplyDeleteTake advantage of the nice days.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a beautiful day! I love reflections in the water. I've taken a few shots of Mt Rainier reflecting in a lake. (if I could find them)
ReplyDeleteThe one of the geese, wow. And of course, I always love seeing your selfie!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you both, how happy you look. What a nice view to go and look at. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful campus to be sure!
ReplyDeleteAren't those fine fall days the ones you want to wrap up and hold onto forever? It would be wrong to waste them -- and you two sure didn't!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are indeed fortunate, and perhaps one day they will look back and realise just how rare and precious such moments of simple beauty truly are
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect day for getting outside. Wonderful scenery - lucky school kids to have such a classroom. I also like the selfie with you and Sue. Please tell Sue I am coveting that lovely sweater/cape? she is wearing. Tres chic! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the geese!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo would make a fantastic puzzle.
ReplyDeleteYou get such great selfies. You really are a handsome character! And yes, I wonder if those students realize how lucky they are.
