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!

    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.

    Wow, Lo! What a beautiful area. Thanks for taking me along on your ride. :) I'm thinking of playing hookie today and driving over to the Shenandoah Valley before all the leaves blow off the trees. xox

    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
