We went for an early-autumn bike ride on the Nashua River Rail Trail, which travels 11 miles from Ayer through Groton and up into New Hampshire. And speaking of early autumn, it certainly is! Owing to the dry, sunny summer, there are more than a few patches of bright reds, oranges, and yellows dotting the forestscape. Acorns are falling, the fauna is restless, and the light seems subdued. And so ends another summer.
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. ~Stanley Horowitz
