autumn reflection

Trees are still wearing a cloak of color as autumn days grow shorter.

end of season

Wilted, faded, transitioned to brown... end of season flower remnants are still beautiful.

in transition

Oak leaves are in transition, wearing colors ranging from green to orange.

a tree-lined path

I was heading for the Jesup Path in Acadia National Park. My approach route on this day was a little different; I walked down what I think is part of the Hemlock Trail.

The trail was lined in white birch trees, a wonderful treat for the eyes!

welcome Baxter

Baxter, a dachshund wearing an age of about 9 years, joined the household of Mom, Suze, and Gracie (the cat!) on October 16, 2015. He agreed to pose for a few photos.

Baxter told me that he hopes he can fill the very large dog shoes that Bailey left behind. I think he's doing a good job so far.

More photos of my first day with Baxter can be viewed in the gallery welcome Baxter!

through the window

The setting sun painted the clouds in pink as I waited for a flight at Logan Airport.

before the freeze

Early in October flowers were starting to fade, still providing pops of color.

rocks and reflection

The Schoodic Peninsula is a favorite destination of mine when I'm visiting Acadia National Park.

This clear view of rocks and reflections stood out on a very foggy day.

a sea of clouds

As the end of daylight approached, a layer of clouds started to build below the summit of Cadillac Mountain. The setting sun colored the sky, providing an accent for the wonderful sea of clouds.
