Autumn Reflection in New England

November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

Bright orange foliage is reflected in a quiet pool of water.
Bear Brook State Park, Allenstown, NH

 
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
|And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.

~ Clyde Watson

Despite what the calendar shows, for me, autumn is over when November is over:  "Earth sinks to rest," as the above poem, says. And as I relish these last few quiet days of fall before the hectic holiday seasons begins, I reflect on autumns past and remember a place I loved to hike in my youth. One glorious fall day in New Hampshire, as I walked along one of my favorite trails, I came across this beautiful tree in full foliage reflected in a pool in the stream that follows the trail. My camera always at the ready, I was able to capture the moment.


The light patch about a third of the way down on the left is a rock just under the water. The shot I took was of the tree upside down from the opposite bank but I thought the tree looked better upright.
