April 16, 2014

Beautiful early-hours/late-summer morning today as I drove down Blackstone Boulevard in Providence.  Lots of walkers. Some runners.  Patches of color already appearing in the leaves of some trees. Some have already fallen and are turning crinkly on the ground.  That and the soft light through the high clouds give more  of a sense of Indian summer than real summer.

We  bring our mood  (in this case autumnal) to nature and nature reinforces it.

Sadly, none of the exercisers this morning included the lady in the picture above.
