autumn
This time of year it is tempting to get lost in foliage display...but the low October light brings a painterly light to the waterfront that is not to be missed. Moody looking clouds create the kind of skies that inspired William Turner.
Giant cranes that lift working ferries out of the water create reflections reminiscent of Bruce Gray's abstracts.
Along the river's edge, a gift...
First frost
With an autumn blaze border.
It is August 25th in a summer that feels like it has just begun, yet the signs of the season's changing are here - the roadside wall of green is punctuated with small dots of yellow and occasionally a bit of red. Last night's fall-like coolness made for a glorious dawn of gently wafting river fog and grass tips set aglow by the rising sun.

Walking along the trail at Stepping Stones Waterfall in Rhode Island, we met some other hikers who said,
"You have to go down to the bridge. It is like being in an oil painting."
He wasn't wrong.
