Sunday Drive


I headed out for a long, aimless drive yesterday. It's one of my favorite things to do to decompress from the work week.
I headed for the other side of Mount Hope Bridge.
This guy's license plate is "swtryd."
Sweet ride! 


This was Volpe's Pond at 1:00 pm.


This is it at 5:00 pm!
I love afternoon light.


I stopped at Colt State Park in Bristol.
I love it there! You're surrounded by ocean and nestled by woods.



It was breezy by the bay, but still warm.



Red sails!


I love when the ivy changes with the season. What a great, old building.


I paused for a few more afternoon shots....



And made my way back to Barrington.
It was a picture perfect day!

  1. Your area is so beautiful. Here it is pretty too but no boat and ocean shots. The trees are dropping leaves in a blizzard now. Have a great week.

  11. Why does that red sail seem so special? It has some symbolism to me, all good

    I too love days and drives like this. Your photos of volpe's pond at 1 and 5 is so cool! Wouldn't that be the most fun: to snap the nuances of time from one spot throughout the days and seasons?

    I am super duper glad you are behind the wheel.

    Love love love
