It was a beautiful day here in New England. We just had a bout with summer and today was the refreshing change that will be with us for a few days.
On such a day we decided to take a woodland walk and enjoy the free natural show now showing. The walk had a beautiful little stream that wound its way through hardwood and hemlock woods. There were birds about as well as a few woodchucks that seemed to play hide and seek with us.
Several fields were in the mix and they offered flowers of various colors and sizes. One of the fields was quite large and for the eye to take in the beauty was difficult. This is a nice photo and is now my screen saver, but it was much more brilliant in person.
Near an old barn were these flowers swaying in the breeze. When I saw them I thought of a male brook trout in Autumn.
I plan to fish here come mid October. These are some of the flies that will attempt to persuade a brook trout or two. I'm like a kid and I can't wait.
just beautiful.

It's appreciated Teresa.
Those wildflower meadows are quite spectacular aren't they!

They were indeed. Such vibrant colors and so many of them.
What a beautiful day, it appears, to get out and take it all in. Absorb it, breathe it, and, fortunately because of great camera work, you can take it back home with you.

Mel sometimes you have to just stop and take in all that is wild and natural.
Pretty place you live...

I do enjoy it, and happy I don't have to go far to do it.
As always, thanks for the tour. Awesome as usual.

Fall colors in Potter Co. both leaves and fish are some of my favorites, I too cant wait! If you ever want to venture a little south and fish Gods Co. let me know.

Potter Co. wild fish and whitetails. I have yet to travel there. I have fished wild trout streams in Pike and Wayne Co's.
It's hard to beat spending a little time with Mother Nature on a beautiful day like that.

I try to keep on the good side of Mother.

I think I have the camera down pat.
I thought I recognized that map! Coming down to my neck of the woods!

For sure friend. I think the mid October time frame.
Will there be good color in the mountains, and better color in the streams?
We're in between seasons now Brk Trt..the plateau of summer has been reached and soon we'll start our descent. Our path will be gradual at first perhaps leading to... Upper Dam?
ReplyDeletepenbayman,

Mike your right about summer. The season to come is perhaps the best, and if part of it is spent at Upperdam all the better.
