In October I attended the
Land Trust Alliance Rally in Hartford, Connecticut. The first day there I went on a field trip to Massachusetts ~ on a beautiful fall day. Here are a few photos from a six-mile hike through lands conserved by the
Mount Grace Conservation Land Trust. The views were pretty, but I what I really loved was the textures of the forest. These were taken with my point and shoot
Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS Digital Elph.

The highlight of my entire east coast trip was seeing these newts.
I think they are red-spotted salamanders. |
