Oasis

This little wetland oasis is just down the street from my house. Early in the morning on this misty autumn day it has an almost other-worldly feel. Standing on the bridge, listening to the sound of the cattails moving in the breeze and watching a heron fly over, I could be anywhere in space and time: England, Ann Arbor, or Middle Earth. Any of those would be fine today.

Fall is in the air

After yesterday's unseasonal warmth, today feels more like fall. There's the smell of leaves in the air, and a bit of mist. Not long 'til Rhinebeck now...
