We’ve got 5 weeks till Thanksgiving.
But this seems an appropriate time to give thanks for all we have in Westport.
For what seems like all of October, we’ve enjoyed an autumn out of a movie director’s dream.
Spectacular foliage, brilliant sunshine, warm temperatures — what’s not to love?
The beauty is so at odds with what many of us feel. A foreboding election, a polarized nation, perils across the globe, weather disasters everywhere but here, a planet on the brink of doom — all are never far from our minds.
Those worries are real.
But let’s all take a deep breath.
Let’s look around our town, and be grateful for all the wonderful ways in which we live life in Westport.
One of those wonders is Winslow Park. Just think: 32 acres — trees, grass, meadows, woods, walking paths, all just a few steps from downtown.
Mark Mathias is a Winslow regular. Yesterday, he photographed the world of Winslow.
There are many reasons to worry these days.
Yet — as these photos show — there are many reasons our hearts can soar, too.
