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.

Full set of fall pictures are here on Flickr. More to come this week!

Great Fall Weekend

This past weekend had great weather - mid-70s on Saturday and mid-60s on Sunday, with plenty of sun to go around. On Saturday, we went for a hike in Mass Audubon's Broadmoor conservation land in Natick. Found some great foliage scenes there and awesome lighting. On Sunday, we managed to catch the closing of the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston
