My wife and I are on a trip to New England to see the fall color. We were driving through Northwestern Massachusetts on our way to Boston, and I saw a sign that said "Shelburne Falls Historic District, 1/2 mile." We had not planned to stop there, since we were already way behind schedule. But on an impulse I jerked the wheel at the last second (impulses are always good when you are on vacation.) Wow, what a find! Cute town for one, but then we stumbled across something called "Bridge of Flowers." It's an old trolley bridge that was retired in 1928 as automobiles became more prevalent. Since it was not being used for anything else, other than a footbridge, someone decided to plant flowers along it. The project grew and grew, and here is what it looks like today. These are flower pics I took on our walk across the bridge. Sony RX-100 V point-and-shoot.
