Walk to the Marsh

It was a beautiful fall afternoon today, and I went for a walk down the road to the marsh on Mars Hollow road in Milton. The foliage is nearing its peak, and the leaves always turn brightest the fastest on the trees near the water. I spent some time down by the water hoping to see some ducks. There weren't any around, but I was able to get some nice pictures of the foliage and the beautiful, gangly dead trees that stand in the marsh. I also had a huge flock of geese fly over me, which is always fun to see, and listen to. Here are a few of my favorite pics: 
   
This is the road on the way to the marsh.


Here is my reflection in the water, as I look down from my perch on the drainage pipe.

This is the foliage lining the marsh.


 
This most wonderful tree just looks like it should have bird in it, especially crows or birds of prey; I was lucky to catch this bird before it flew away. I think it is a hawk or falcon or something noble like that.


A hot air balloon was floating by and got caught in the tree!

 I hope we get a couple more weeks of foliage and this lovely fall weather! Here is a slideshow of the rest of the pictures I took today on my walk to the marsh.
