Autumn Kayak

Today we took a short kayak trip to take in the fall colors.

On my way across the water.

My wife paddling ahead.

Leaves on the water.

Autumn on the Westfield River

Russell MA - I took this photo off the bridge at the end of Main Street in Russell MA. Many of the leaves have fallen but there still is some good color.

Bish Bash Falls Park

Mt. Washington, MA - I stopped quickly at Bish Bash Falls Park to take some foliage photos. I could hear the falls from the top of the mountain. I was going to take a hike down to the water to take a photo of the falls but when I saw how steep it was I decided to take a photo from from the top. I drove down the road, just over the New York border to try for a easier hike in but since I had my dogs with me I used that as an excuse for not spending the time to hike in, maybe next time.



A panoramic view from the top of the mountain.


A photo of falls, I don't believe these are the big falls that people come to see but falls none the less.


A photo from the top of the hill, it was very steep and has big rocks. You can see where they have placed cables, basically guard rails to keep people from going over the cliffs. They are also a good way to pull yourself up the hill. I did go down the hill a bit and used them to pull myself up.

Winter or Autumn

Last night we had our first snow...it is still Autumn so we are not ready for snow. Here are a few photos I took this morning showing both Autumn and Winter.


The Autumn gourds above my door with the snow on the tree.


A trail through the wood with colorful leaves lining the path.


Needles, Leaves and Snow.


An example of things to come.

Weekend Puppy Sitting

Oxford, CT - This weekend I puppy sat for my sister-in-law while she and her husband were away. I took these photos while taking her dogs for a walk.


Her two dogs, Montecore on the left and Meredith on the right. By the way, they are brother and sister to my two dogs, we keep it all in the family. Even our cats are brother and sister.


Some color on the water.


And color beside the road.


That's a lot of Bull.


Flying the Colors.

FALL MILL

Gramville, MA - This mill is known as "The Mill in the Meadow" located in Granville, MA. Looks nice with the autumn foliage in the background.

AUTUMN LEAVES WITH LLAMA

On my way to work I was trying to catch the morning sun on the autumn leaves. Unfortunately, I leave a few minutes to early to catch full sun but I did manage to get a few photos.
