Walden

As you may or may not know, in my "other life" I work as an Admission Counselor for the University of Southern Maine. A large part of my job is recruiting, which requires significant travel during the fall months. This week is my first trip, and I decided to bring my camera along, just in case.

As luck would have it, on my way to Boston yesterday, I found myself on the road that leads to Walden Pond. I've been there before, a few years ago when I lived in the city, but never with my camera in tow. I decided to make a pit stop and see where my creativity could take me, in a place that is known for inspiring that very thing.

I think it may have been the perfect day to stop in. The weather was a bit chilly so the beach was near empty, and the leaves had just started to change on just a few of the trees, giving the color they held a nice pop. I spent about an hour walking around the pond and its wooden paths, taking in the early fall day and the peacefulness of the lake.
