This year more than most, it seemed that the seasons changed on a specific day.   Sunday, the first day of November and the first day of the early dark the time change brings, was a beautiful day.  It followed a Halloween night that was an unlikely 62 degrees.  The forsythia outside my window was still a brilliant gold as the sun shone through the leaves.  Within the hour the light had shifted so that they looked a dull brown and every gust of wind took more of them to the ground.

Anxious to get out and enjoy this “last” day of the season before 6 months of gray trees here in Maine, I took a ride down to the Orr’s Island area, and again was struck by how late afternoon light effects the beauty of the scenery, and that it is even more beautiful because of the shadows balancing the light.
