Peak foliage is still a couple of weeks away. The air is not yet autumn crisp.
But we’ve been treated to a great fall so far.
John Maloney was one of many Westporters out this weekend, soaking in the scenery.
He brought his camera. Here are a few shots, to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us.
And for our ex-pats, living now in places where nature does not put on a show like this: Enjoy New England, vicariously.

The world is a dark place these days.
Around the globe, there are reasons for fear and grief.
Westport is not immune.
At the same time, we are blessed. No matter what our circumstances or concerns, we are surrounded by breathtaking beauty.
Fall is a spectacular time here. Despite everything else going on — elections, work, a government shutdown, wars and much more — we should all take time to appreciate the wonders of our time.
This morning, “06880” photographer John Maloney helps us do just that.
Enjoy!
