This is a view of the Quinebuag River just before it flows into Danielson, Connecticut. It is taken from the kayak launch just below the bridge of Highway 101.

As always, you never fail to impress with lovely picturesque photos! Lovely picks by Lynn. 👍👏👏
Thank you so much! And I will pass the compliment off to my lovely wife…few people understand how much she adds to my artistic efforts! 🙂
I want to apologize that I have not responded earlier. You may have noticed that I’ve also not posted in a while. I am trying to get a large project for my masters complete and it is taking up a lot of time. I have vowed not to post anything until that is done.
Most welcome! All the best on your masters. I went through it and writing the final dissertation was tough but phew I made it, juggling work and night classes! Good luck and all the best so that we may get to read your posts regularly again. Happy holiday season 🙂
Beautiful pictures.
Thank you! 🙂 And more to come, promise! 🙂
Nice work.
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful … Yankee retired in Florida, miss the fall colors but started shivering
thinking about the cold wind that will soon make all of those leaves fall. … ME
I understand. Your beautiful season is just starting! And now I am the one who is going to be jealous of you! 🙂
Lovely photos.
Thank you! 🙂
Oh Iove autumn and its gorgeous colours !
Is there much of an autumn in England? It’s not something I have ever seen or heard of. There must be, but I have no feel for it.
It’s autumn the whole year ! :p I meant, we don’t have massive difference in terms of temperature (not like in Belgium) .. it’s coldish the whole year, but we can see the trees changing colours.. yes 😉
I must be an idiot. After I sent you that question I remembered that one of Shakespeare’s sonnets (I just looked it up, no 73) talks about the leaves changing:
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
So I guess New England’s claim to fame is the bold oranges and bright reds. Lucky us! 🙂
Very nice captures of the Quinebaug River!
Thank you! One of the backstories is that this river used to be very polluted and there were mountains of trash in it. But the water quality is back up (not great, but better) and through the work of many volunteers, the garbage has all been picked up. It is now a resource that is beautiful to have an to use. 🙂
Extremely beautiful ….as always 🙂
You are very kind and always generous! Thank you! 🙂
🙂
These are really beautiful!
Thank you! Us Yankees work real hard this time of the year, sneaking out each night with buckets of paint to paint more trees! 🙂 Has the fall even started in Pennsylvania, yet?
You are working hard. Yes it has started and I’ll be putting up some posts on it soon.
Very much looking forward to it! 🙂
The light quality is quite lovely!
Thank you! And you’re right, I was lucky to catch it at just the right time. 🙂
Idyllic scenes!
Thank you so much, dear! 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thank you! And I look forward to many more visits to Snapshots for Sore Eyes!
