Fall's Colors Have Peaked, but They were Spectacular We have passed the peak foliage time for our New England fall. The colors this year seemed to be just a bit more colorful and brilliant. I have been enjoying them on my early morning walks through my golf course. If for nothing other than the open spaces and the hills, these nature walks can be uplifting. I have taken these walk on a crisp afternoon with my wife, a non golfer, and she can appreciate the beauty we see and gives a better understanding of my times here.

An Early Morning Walk to Clear the Mind and Enrich the Soul I was taking an early morning stroll in one of my favorite places in Watertown CT and took a few extra stops to appreciate Nature’s gift. At 7 AM mid week, there are not a lot of other people here, and aside from the occasional worker, it’s a walk with the birds chirping.       Acres of grass with morning dew                                 The tink of a sprinkler head as water strikes and the fairways are watered for the day.                                   A peak to the back of a pond with the ducks and geese just floating along undisturbed.                           Blue sky, fresh mowed grass, this could never be considered a good walk spoiled.
