Fall in southern New England, and for once no trout fishermen in view! No complaint on the trout fishermen, but they often aren’t photogenic. This location is one of the better pools on the river. And a nice bridge, not one of our modern decaying concrete box beams.

and buildings!
Well not really, actually. The woodbine (virginia creeper) is particularly happy this year. These pictures don’t do justice to the one growing in the hemlock at all, nor to festooned chimney on the little house (not visible in the first picture). But take note of the gingko tree in the background, the woodbine has quite quietly established itself in it.
I know, a bit overgrown…

along with woodland sunflower. Actually, not that old a tree, planted about 1964.
This photo was taken about a month ago, we are now into the dry and dusty phase of autumn. The colors are spectacular at least!

From some time ago (it is 50, raining, and dark): the lily is ‘Black Beauty’ and about as extreme a form as you can get it seems to me!

Dam! Friday, Sep 5 2014
Landscapes and Modern Photos northwest Connecticut 09:37
Went for a drive yesterday looking for this and that in northwest Ct. Happened to stop by this location, have a dam or two actually, and a tree. Lots of trees. I always laugh when people argue that you couldn’t possibly get lost in the woods around here. It is true that you couldn’t get lost in thousands of square miles of trackless wilderness. And as long as you have two good feet and keep walking without going in a circle, you will hit a road within a few hours. But, nonetheless, you could do a pretty decent job of getting mislaid, especially in an area where the topography is so solidly confused.
Colebrook River Dam and in the distance the Hogback Dam*. The area is open to various types of recreation, though with multiple overlapping agencies and owners, it pays to check the current regulations carefully.
*It has some other official name, but is known as Hogback.
