Autumn water

Finally back at Jamaica Pond now that the weather is walkable. And it feels different, more autumnal, quicker to chill, easier to feel the cut of the wind through layers. Yet it is a pleasure to be back, especially now that summer’s detours are mostly finished.

There’s something that happens to leaves and such debris when covered with water, something that accentuates the colors and that portrays movement, at least a bit. And I love what happens to light. I can’t seem to find the words but come to think of it, I just look, I don’t need the words after all...

Next time I will share some lovely pictures of the Pond and the island and boathouse. But today I was drawn to the Pond’s edge, a familiar place for me recently. This less familiar landscape is worth exploration, too.
