A Beautiful Autumn Day in November
It has been a pretty sad sack of Autumn in Massachusetts. Last week, the leaves finally decided to change. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of our now daily rain. A particularly heavy rain with plenty of wind.
I pondered the situation and realized we were indeed going to get some lovely autumn foliage, but half the trees will be naked by then. Today, finally, it was (mostly) sunny for most of the day. But tomorrow, the rain is back. Wind too. Good thing I took my camera with me. I could tell Garry wished he brought his because he had to borrow mine and take a few shots.
Always have a camera. You just never know!
It was a running around day. We had to catch up on errands. We get money on the first of the month, so we go shopping. By the first, we are out of everything except coffee, half-and-half, and dog food. And of course, treats for the dogs. Can’t run out of treats.
The trees — wherever they still were trees and not naked limbs — were beautiful. Not much red, but deep orange and a glorious golden-yellow. The woods were lit up when the sun hit them.
The best time of the year for photos

Certainly the most colorful. It rained overnight and all the maples are bare today. Good I took a few pictures yesterday!

May have been a sad autumn for leaf peepers but it was a heckuva time for our Boston Red Sox.

It was our “one day Autumn.” Today, it’s raining again and all the maples are bare.

Most of my Fall foliage is laying on the ground in wet clumps after two days worth of icky autumn rains. For some reason it just doesn’t look as pretty down there…

This has been a really icky autumn. Yesterday was the best of it and today, all those trees are bare. Maybe next year, if it stops raining. Ever.

Good I did. The red tree of yesterday is bare this morning. Not surprising. Rain and wind all night. Again. At least the well will have water in it!

We’ve got the rain here and I think it’s going to last a couple of days.

Two or three, we are told. AND it is nasty chilly damp and cold.

My artsy photos 🙂 I am SO glad I got outside yesterday to take a few pictures. I loved the way the leaf came out. I wasn’t as sure of the tracks. It was hard getting the pebbles to have the colors and contrast right.
