Picnic Time - Penwood State Park, Connecticut

Fall is here and parts of the country are beginning to show signs of the prettiest season of the year. Trees in New England will soon be changing to a wide spectrum of colors instead of their green color. There will be many scenes like this where the golden leaves create a carpet on the ground. The crisp air is a telling sign that the heat of summer is gone and that winter will be soon upon us. This photo was taken a few years ago and there was no one in the park. Given the idyllic setting, I am sure that some family or group of friends came by with a picnic basket to take in the beauty and serenity around them.
