Colorfully

Appleton Farms, Ipswich, Massachusetts

Sunlight passes through

 to reveal how it is meant to be

  when the leaves release all the warmth

  

   into the skies...

Into the Twilight

Fresh Pond, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Middle of the day.
  Geese seem to be leaving, in the shades of sundown.
   And soon enough, it gets darker.
 
Black's Nook dried-out Lotuses leave the space for Mergansers.
 
  Floating into the night...

Kids are Gone

Drumlin Farm, Lincoln, Massachusetts

Farmland is getting a breather.
 
 Kids are gone.
  Only the house, the shadows and sparkles of low sun...

Among Leaves

Weir Hill, North Andover, Massachusetts

Leaves have been working hard from the spring
 and now is the time
  to say goodbye.
 
  What a goodbye !!!!

All is Well

Weir Hill, North Andover, Massachusetts

Gazing into the colors...

 And there they are.
  Chickadees,
    amidst the shades of autumn,  
   picking the seeds.
 
  Some will be stored for the winter...

Long Views

Peaked Mountain, Monson, Massachusetts

Looks like an ascent to the peak.
 Amidst crimson
  into the hilly distance...
