I grabbed the camera and took a few shots in my neighborhood shortly after dawn.

I love when there’s still some fall color left when the snow starts flying!

Later, I took Sam and Pip to nearby Quarry Hill Park for their usual morning walk. It was beautiful! So, after taking them back home, I headed straight back with camera in hand. Unfortunately, a lot of the snow had melted by the time I got back. Still managed to find a few things to take photos of though.

In contrast, just last Monday, I went canoeing at Chester Woods park. We’d had record breaking temperatures in the 70’s that day. Although windy, the paddle was very pleasant. I noted the fading colors in the fading light.

Transitions. We’ll have some fall weather, I’m sure. Winter has announced it’s impending arrival.
