Day 288 - a Year by the Sea

October 16, 2007 by OrientSee.

The canopy is thinning and the breezes cooler. There are bright yellows, reds and oranges everywhere as the leaves turn. Ordinarily October is not a month that is known for wildflowers but in fact there are still plenty of blooms to savor such as this. The casket company thicket was literally crawling with warblers this morning while the long thicket out to the overlook was very quiet. It was low tide so that the only herons and egrets were over on the Winthrop shore. I was surprised on the Bennington St. bridge by an enormous number of small minnow size fish. Actually the lack of birds feasting on the school was the big surprise. It was a protein extravaganza but not a bird in sight. The day was bright and another gift to anyone who came out for a stroll.

Ciao!
