As I often do when I am in a funk, I went for a walk this afternoon. It had been raining off and on, and finally, at 3:45pm, just as the Weather Channel predicted, it stopped. That was supposed to be the end of the rain until at least 7pm, so I decided to take a walk on the Munter Trail and commune with the trees.
The river is unusually low, and the remains of the old piers for the Hannawa RR are in full view. The foliage is past peak but still colorful. Despite the traffic noise from the road that parallels the trail and river, I enjoyed the company of the trees.
I did get sprinkled on during my return trip, but the sun broke through after, highlighting the tree tops.
The leaf in the photo at the top came home with me after having its portrait made on a picnic table. We needed the rain, and we have gotten over 2" in the past few days. It was a good walk. Trees are good company. They teach us to persevere in the face of adversity.
