A Texas city girl in a small New England town …

This afternoon, I took another peek at the leaves in Echo Lake Park. And with sadness, I have to say, the “Leaf Peeping Peak Season” is over. Here and there are trees still dressed in Autumn leaves. A lot of them are bare, now. I can tell that November has arrived in New England. Well, I will enjoy what is left for the rest of the season, before I experience my first real Winter in almost two decades.

After I dropped off Sara at school, I drove to Echo Lake Park. I wanted to see how far Autumn had come along. Two weeks ago, there were barely any signs. Now, it looks quite different. Let’s give it another week or two, and the green might be completely gone. The dew and the fog helped to give it an Autumn feeling at the lake. A half a dozen ducks and a bunch of Canada Geese enjoyed this sunny morning as well.

The big, black-necked Canada Goose with its signature white chinstrap mark is a familiar and widespread bird of fields and parks. Thousands of “honkers” migrate north and south each year, filling the sky with long V-formations. However, as lawns have proliferated, an increasing number of these grassland-adapted birds are remaining in urban and suburban areas year-round, where some people regard them as pests.
This afternoon I went to Echo Lake Park for a bit. I haven’t been to the lake since early Spring. It is hot today. The ducks and the geese loved to cool off and take naps in the shade. Now that it is Summer, there are plenty of wild blooms. The bees are all over the place. And the dragonflies darted across the water.
