This is of the Scantic River, which is a 2 miute drive from our new house.We spend a lot of time there anyways, but i imagine we will be spending a lot more in the future.
The water is now down to a pretty gentle flow, no longer the fast cool sweeping water of spring, nor the refreshing depth of summer.
In fact, the entire trail along the river showed signs of the impending fall, with leaves falling astray and lightening in color.
In just 3 short weeks the green will give way to the glorious colors of a New England fall, and in truth, i can't wait.
We need the crisp air just as much as we need the structure of school and routine and dare i say even homework?
The kids are just a mess after a long summer of little fun and lots of changes.
I can only hope that as we get ready to fall back that things calm down.

I really love those photos—I am always hesitant to take landscape photos, since I feel at a loss in composing, but you made me realize how fun they can be, with so much color!
