I feel honored to be chosen by Cee Neuner to participate in the Seven Day Nature Challenge.
The challenge asks I post one photo per day for a week. The subject can be anything, as long as it comes from the natural world. About 90% of my work is landscape or wildlife photography. I do side trips to architecture and portraits –and I’m always trying to get a good picture of my dogs — but overall, there’s more of Autumn, the Blackstone River, water fowl, Arizona, and sunrise and sunset.
On this sixth day of the challenge is going down the river. My river, the Blackstone and it’s tributary, the Mumford River, both of which flow through Uxbridge.
Cee and I are acquainted with most of the same groups of photo bloggers and pretty much anyone I can think to nominate has already been nominated. If by some quirk of luck, you have been overlooked, please participate. Consider yourself nominated and chosen! Especially if these are the kind of pictures you usually post, it’s no stretch to just post them as part of the challenge.
Come one, come all!

These are some of my favorite photos you have posted during this challenge, and maybe some of my favorites of all time…especially the sunlit landscapes where the photo actually glows gold. So beautiful!

Wonderful images. Our autumn is nothing this year – very little colour. One day the trees are full of leaves, the next day they are bare.

If it keeps raining, it’ll be time for another showing of “Wild River” starring Monty Clift, Lee Remick and Jo Van Fleet.

There are some amazing reflections in your water photos. In a couple of them the water is like liquid gold.
Beautiful as usual, Marilyn.

The leaves were bronze and the sun was amber … the reflections turned the water to gold. It was something to see!

I dearly love our river. When we moved here, I had no idea how much I would come to love the river and the woods. It’s become like a personal friends.

Marilyn these are beautiful pictures and I love the ducks. Not as regal as swans they have a beauty all their own.

The ducks are great. They also get along with everything else. Even with the geese and the swans (who can’t get along with each other!). Unfortunately, the herons will eat the baby ducks when they can. Nature isn’t sweet and kind.
