Social distancing has kept us outside wandering and photographing in nature. As a result, we have been witnessing the glory of the changing seasons even if it is the metamorphosis that takes us from glorious autumn into brooding winter. And what a winter it is to brood in. I am way behind in posting images, and today thought I would share this especially bleak scene from Great Meadows Wildlife Refuge in Concord, MA taken on Thanksgiving Saturday. The bittersweet is perhaps a symbol of the season itself and reminds me of the M. Night Shyamalan movie ” The Village” and the “bad color.”
