Fall Foliage

It was tricky finding the proper opportunity to shoot fall foliage this year.  The colors started to turn, but as soon as they did a pair of Nor'easters blew through for the latter half of October.  Whatever leaves had become brilliantly orange and gold were blown away in the wind, but I tried my best during a couple of non-rainy days!First stop was Slater Mill up in Pawtucket, where I captured a...

Driving down the highway I could see the scene setting up beautifully. I made it to the Town Beach, the closest bit of water. The best of the light was gone but I thought there might be something beautiful lingering....
