It's a late fall in Maryland and walking through the forest; there are only smatterings of color here and there. I expected the deciduous groves to be rich in autumn hues, but it's mostly green. But here and there, one tree has broken from the crowd. To be sure, there are areas within an hour's drive of Annapolis that are more colorful. Walking through a nature trail is reward enough. And when I do see a flash of color, all the better.
Here's a random beach scene from Lloret de Mar. Everybody seemed to be having way too much fun for a weekday. However, people here are on some kind of vacation, so the day of the week is unimportant. I had just arrived on a redeye from the states; it was Thursday, I think. And, I was just getting warmed up to the whole vacation thing. What better way to do that than take photos of others who are already warmed up. Eventually, I got into the rhythm of things, maybe even a little too much. By the time we left this town, I had managed to lose my passport, but that's another story for another day.
