Walden Pond at Sunset

In late October, I took a half day to try to shoot the peak foliage in the area. Unfortunately, the day had been overcast with little sun shining through. As sunset was approaching, I made my way to Walden Pond, hoping for the best. The clouds departed and I had a great 45 minutes of golden hour photography - with dark late afternoon shadows and strong light.

You'll see some swimmers in these pictures - there is a group of older individuals and couples (65+) who routinely swim the cool water here every afternoon!

Walden is such a quiet and relaxing place, it's worth the drive out to Concord.

Autumn Scenes in MA

Two weeks ago, we spent most of a day exploring and looking for some classic New England foliage. It was an overcast day, but Lexington Battle Green (where the Revolutionary War began) had some great color. A morning detour to Wellesley and Natick brought great shots of barns and more rural side-road scenes.

Nissitissit Covered Bridge in Fall

Last weekend began the peak foliage show in southern New England. On a Sunday afternoon we took a quick drive to Brookline and Hollis, New Hampshire to visit some local farms, view the foliage, and of course snag some pictures of a covered bridge.

Apples & Autumn

Four of us were set on visiting some local farms today and made the trip out to Holliston's Highland Farm. This was a great year for the apple harvest and the trees were loaded!

Stonehenge

Back when we were in England in July, we took a day trip out to Stonehenge. In the middle of rolling fields and farms rise these 20+ foot huge monoliths. It's hard to grasp how large they are until you are up close in person.

Swedish Car Day 2013

This Sunday was the 14th annual Swedish Car Day at Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline. Great turnout this year with lots of great examples of Saabs and Volvos from the 1950s to today - including the new Volvo V60 wagon, which is the only one in America.
