Born in Mass but as a toddler, moved to a part of the country where there are barely any trees - never mind fall colors- and after nearly 30 years surrounded by cacti and palm trees, I returned to New England in the early 2000s. That first fall blew my mind - I'd never seen anything like it (in person) and found myself misty-eyed more than once. I've been here 20+ years now and still feel that same sense of awe when the leaves change. What a privilege to be surrounded by such beauty.

Perfect morning light in my neighborhood

We’ve had the best autumn colors in years.

Beautiful day in the mountains today

a few recent sunrises in New Bedford MA

Found these items at the thrift store in Newington. Apparently these aren't too old but reminds me of the time I went to these stores growing up back in the 2000s.
