We are coming to the edge of a forest of pines and hardwoods and about to emerge onto sun-drenched rock cliffs. Through the trees we can see a deep blue sky with a few wisps of diaphanous haze. Straight ahead, the trunks of four pines have grown together as a single tree. Hidden behind these trunks, the afternoon sun is shining down on us, silhouetting the trees trunks and limbs while backlighting the hardwoods' bright gold and yellow autumn foliage and the deep green pine needles. The rocky ground beneath our feet is softened by a reddish-tinged golden brown carpet of fallen pine needles.

Old stone dam on Beaver Pond, White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. October 12, 2023, 3:02 PM.

In the gold-tinged sunshine of a beautiful October afternoon, we are standing beside an old, overgrown, rustic stone dam on a lake surrounded by forest. Just the very tip of the lake is visible to the right of the dam, a riotous growth of shrubs hides our view of the outlet stream to our left. Some autumn golds and oranges are beginning to emerge from the green forest. A path through the forest leads up to and across the dam, my brother's dog (hi, Nutmeg) has just come around a turn in the distance.

'October' was born from fond memories of a quiet childhood, walking home through autumn leaves. What song brings your childhood rushing back?

Beneath a deep light blue sky streaked with a few clouds, we are standing alongside a pond. There is a patch of water grasses in front of us, turned golden brown with the end of the growing season. The branches of some leafless shrubs can be seen among the grasses. A dead tree stump with a V shaped top portion is to the left. The far shore has similar golden brown water grasses surrounded by a forest of mostly leafless trees. The leaves that remain are the brick reds and golden browns of past peak.

Ferns and birches at golden hour, Woodtick Trail, Wolcott, Connecticut. October 4, 2019, 5:34 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #autumn #October #forest #autumnvibes #trails

Climbing a gentle slope through an early autumn forest of birch trees whose foliage is just beginning to show touches of bright yellow. The ground is lushly carpeted with ferns starting to turn golden brown and yellow. The evening sun is low above the far horizon, shining through the ferns and the leafy branches of the trees and casting long shadows across the forest floor. Through the canopy there are glimpses of a soft blue sky.

We see glimpses of the rainy overcast sky between the trees and mirrored on the lake surface. A small inlet of the lake with numerous lily pads is visible with a flock of 13 Canadian geese swimming on its surface. in the background and foreground are trees with bright gold, green orange and red foliage.

The big meadow in autumn. Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. October 27, 2020, 4:20 PM.

A cloudy late afternoon sky. Standing at the edge of a huge field, recently mown, surrounded by forest. Fallen autumn leaves are scattered through the still green grass. The trees along the edge of the field are almost leafless. A shrub just to our right at the edge of the forest is covered with bright red leaves just beginning to turn golden brown.

Once again strolling through my photo memories. This was from an early morning drive through Grosse Pointe, Michigan a couple years ago. The golden trees, quiet street, and sidewalks stirred up childhood memories of growing up in Michigan—even though this wasn’t my old neighborhood. Some places just feel like home. 🍂🚗 #Michigan #GrossePointe #Nostalgia #AutumnVibes

A tree-lined street with vibrant yellow leaves, showcasing autumn colors. Several parked cars are visible, and a vehicle is driving down the center of the road. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, creating a picturesque fall scene.

Rocky, muddy trail through a beautiful northern forest, Northville-Placid Trail, Blue Mountain Wild Forest, Adirondack Preserve, New York. September 11, 2024, 2:21 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #autumn #forest #autumnvibes #trails

Walking along a footpath consisting mostly of rocks and boulders, tree roots and ankle-deep mud. The trail passes through a beautiful northern forest of spruce, fir, maples, birch and other northern hardwoods. The maples and birch are starting to sport splashes of vivid red and gold, the spruce and fir deep, dusky green tones. the sky seen through the canopy is a rich autumn blue streaked with wisps of white. The forest is dappled with bright golden sunshine and shadows.

This is the third in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep colors of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Alien landscape sunset, New Britain Reservoir, Southington, Connecticut. September 21, 2020, 6:18 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #autumn #forest #autumnvibes #sunset #lake

Beneath a cloudless sky of pale blue, we are standing near the shore of a lake. A low wooded ridge rises above the far shore. The sun is setting behind it, casting a golden glow along the horizon. On the near shore, a small rocky hill rises to our right. A tree grows right at the top. There are some leafy shrubs and grass growing along the flanks, but mostly a low ground cover plant with tiny leaves that when seen from a distance resembles grass. This ground cover runs tight up to the rocky near shore of the lake and is covered with tiny white flowers. In the foreground, a leafy plant whose leaves are beginning to turn golden brown is throwing out several spherical clusters of tiny flowers at the tip of each branch.
This promenade alley looks charming in autumn. Walking through the fallen leaves gives a wonderful feeling.

Red tree, Park Road, Waterbury, Connecticut. November 4, 2021, 12:08 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #autumn #forest #autumnvibes #road

A narrow two-lane road with forest on both sides. About half of the leaves are missing from most of the trees; those that remain are orange, gold or yellow. In the foreground on the right side of the road is a single small tree which still has most of its leaves, which are all a striking deep red in color.

Dramatic clouds moving in at sunset. New Britain Reservoir, Southington, Connecticut. October 13, 2019, 5:58 PM.

Standing on the rocky shore of a large lake, a small shrub with long, narrow green leaves to our left. Beyond a strip if rocks and grass, the far shore is wooded. Some of the trees are beginning to turn gold or orange. Streaky clouds, many tinted gold by the setting sun, are beginning to fill the sky from the right. The sky and far shore are perfectly mirrored on the dead calm lake surface.
