Autumn Colors in Framingham

The day after my exciting encounter with Charles's Great Blue Heron, I didn't get a single decent image in the morning. When I went to Farm Pond in the afternoon, I had a little better luck shooting pictures of gulls. I was still a little disappointed, though, because I was light-years away from taking spectacular photos like I had the day before. On the other hand it was a beautiful day, especially with the water sparkling and shimmering in every direction. These images illustrate the beautiful nature of Framingham on a late autumn day.

The bright yellow leaves shine like gold in the afternoon sun.

This office building was once a factory. The golden light makes it appear magical.

Even the commuter rail looks gorgeous when reflected in the lake!

Only a couple trees are hanging onto their leaves. It was almost 70 degrees last Sunday, but winter is really only a heartbeat away!

  3. When I first looked at your fourth pic, I thought Monet & impressionism, and then I read your label. Did you see it as such before taking the photo? Whatever, a great eye. The first two photos were breathe taking as well. Good work!
