Fall is moving in fast, and the swamp maples are taking on their finery along the shore of the millpond. But in the less visited places there's an even more intense show going on, particularly when the sun is past peak and the water is relatively still. This is a shot at the foot of the millpond waterfall, a rocky place where I often sit to watch for dragonflies, damselflies, and, if I get lucky, waterthrushes and sandpipers. There's neither odonate nor bird life exploring the still waters these days, and there's no water coming over the falls. But it's still worth the climb to spend time at my old viewing spot, if for no other reason than to see and photograph the way the surface captures the golden light of autumn. I hope this one does the view justice.
