Photo Finish for September 4, 2010: Into the Greenwood

The weather’s cool, there’s a brilliant sun, and the breeze rustles through the maples, pin cherries, and beech trees. What better conditions could you want for a hike in the woods on a late summer day? Squint, and the prospect takes on the dappled character of a lively, colorful Monet painting, with sparkling highlights, and rich green, blue, and russet hues.

Peel off your heavy boots and sweaty socks, then dunk your feet in the cool, cool water. There’s no better remedy for tired feet.
