My two favorite seasons are the spring and the fall. I love
the spring when everything is just bursting back to life with the beautiful
spring blossoms and flowers and trees filling out from light green to their
full, robust lush green. Then there is the fall when those leaves become
resplendent with beautiful red, orange, yellow, brown and green. Truly, it’s a
tableau of nature’s finest work.
This photo was taken in November of 2007 near Portsmouth,
NH. My focal point was the typical New England style lighthouse on the river to
guide shipping and fishing boats into the small harbors along the river. But,
the entire setting with the homes and other buildings behind the lighthouse and
the foliage, although long past the peak color season, was still gorgeous to my
eye. I guess it didn’t hurt that the sun was low in the southwestern sky
providing a warm, golden light on the entire scene.
It’s almost enough to make me move there . . . except, I
know that winter is not far behind. After having endured two winters in central
New York State when I attended graduate school at Syracuse University, I know
what’s coming and I don’t enjoy that kind of winter any longer. So, I’ll just
make sure I’m up north during the late spring, summer and early to mid fall for
my “return engagements.”
