September light

Yesterday’s Day Poem was about the early turning of the leaves here in Southern Maine, here captured at a little pond along Rt. 9 in Kennebunk just above the Wells line, on a clear September afternoon. It is certainly one of the most beautiful times of year in Maine. Sony Rx10iv at 24mm equivalent. HDR. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. And the poem for those of you who missed it. 🙂

9/26
The leaves are changing early.
We expect peak foliage around
Columbus Day, but either we
are due for a totally awesome
display this year, or it will be
mostly over by mid-October.
Maybe it is the dry summer
(or maybe it is just the 2020
effect). There is a Peak Foliage
web site for Leaf Peekers,
maintained by the State of
Maine. Maybe I should get
online and check. Not that
I can do anything about it or
that it effects me at all. I am
content to just watch the leaves
turn and to revel in the color.
No matter what the calendar
says, it is always an amazing,
an incredible show…nature
rolling out her most vivid
palette, and the sun low on
the horizon already to warm
the light…it is a sight, whether
it comes early or comes late.
