South Coast, Wareham, Mattapoisett, New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA

This peaceful inlet is at the town line between Wareham and Bourne. The southern coastal area of Massachusetts, generally speaking, is characterized by a series of irregular finger-like bays extending into the land mass from Buzzards Bay.

Fall leaves in Mattapoisett.

High-tech, low-tech, and no-tech near Ft. Taber Park in New Bedford.

Repositioning brought a more interesting array of light poles.

A favorite dream job of little boys everywhere - operating the lifting crane.

A Fall Day, Wareham, Massachusetts, USA

I roamed around the Wareham area recently.  This is their Centre Cemetery and fall is in full bloom.

Nice place for the big sleep.

But I think I'd rather be in nearby Onset sitting on this bench for a few more years.

Or taking a cruise in Onset harbor would be nice, too.

I would guess that pretty soon it will be time to haul out and protect many of these boats for the winter.

This vessel is about to leave the Onset dock for the very last sightseeing trip of the season to the nearby Cape Cod canal.

A bench sits empty at the Buzzard's Bay train station. Not too many days left to wear shorts in New England.

I hope Betty Ann (or whomever owns this place now) is sitting in a beach chair somewhere with his/her toes in the warm sand.  I love seasonal ice cream stands - they are so reminiscent of childhood.

It was windy, cloudy, and cool that day and this person appeared to be practicing for winter. Me, I'd rather be on a beach somewhere with my toes in the warm sand.
