POTD - Lights in 2014

Happy New Year!

I'm thinking that I'll at least make an attempt to post 1 picture of the day (hence POTD in the title) on a social media... either here, Facebook, or Instagram. It might be tough, but we'll see how long this lasts. Day 1.

Tried to make it outside to take a few photos this afternoon... except by the time I got to the spot I was looking for, the sun had set. So, in looking for something else, I snapped a few pics of Christmas lights in Chestnut Hill. Intentionally experimenting with various focus levels can yield some beautiful details in the lights.

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

Fall Sunrise on the River

Spent a few hours last weekend over in Newton on the Charles River at sunrise. There are plenty of trails that run along the water through the woods. Some great color at this time of year.
