Foliage Dog Walk--Howe State Park, Spencer Massachusetts
Foliage dog walk through Howe Park, Spencer State Park in Spencer, Massachusetts.
Neat step waterfalls. Two different halves to the trail I took. I had to give up on both only because they were repetitive, not so great for video. But for pushing on for extra steps in your routine, carrying on for either half of these trails would serve you well.
Nice nature eye-candy from various bodies of water. Some great colors from foliage.

Autumn Foliage Drive--Connecticut to Massachusetts
Просмотров 35День назад
A fall drive from Woodstock, CT through the Massachusetts towns of Dudley, Charlton, Spencer, Paxton, and Rutland. Starting at Roseland Park, and passing through Buffumville Dam Park, Rutland State Park, and Howe State Park, along with some quickie footage on foot. This is the final foliage video for this season (might post a short version of this video, however). The final five minutes is high...

Autumn Nature Walk, Lincoln Woods State Park in Rhode Island
Просмотров 68Месяц назад
Beautiful Park in Lincoln, RI. Great beach. Not much bug activity, but not much nature sounds, either. My dog Jackie leads the way as always, as we circumnavigate Olney Pond. Whether it was allergies or sinus flair-up, I was stuffed up that day which resulted in a lot of unfortunate mouth-breathing, sometimes fairly heavy and noticeable in the video. Apologies for that. Also, there is a fairly ...

Exploring the more rural route from the Hope Village area of Rhode Island to one of her marquee state parks: Lincoln State Woods. Great driving views of the reservoir, passing over the earthen dam, as well as the countryside, until arriving at Lincoln State Woods. Ends with a car journey through Lincoln State Woods which lasts just under three miles, followed by some highway footage, leaving th...
Nature Dog Walk at George Washington Camp Grounds, Rhode Island
Просмотров 532 месяца назад
Great camping grounds with trails for those just passing through. Nice reservoir with a tiny beach. Trail is a bit of a challenge, with shifting elevations and tree roots to walk over. This was kind of the Found Footage video from my collection recorded in June but forgotten until now. The main problem was the non-stop barrage of bugs (likely for that time of year). I swallowed a couple, but ed...
Autumn nature walk, full foliage. Rutland State Park in Rutland, Massachusetts.

Autumn in New England, and a terrific park for a dog walk. Multiple trails, but I followed the RED trail that circumnavigates White Hall Pond. Great foliage colors, great pond scenes, and a couple of dog interactions... one good, one troubling. And you'll see the handy work left behind by enterprising beavers. Exploring just the RED trail, a little more challenging than beginner, mostly because...
Killingly, CT Autumn Car Tour
Просмотров 592 месяца назад
A quick autumn drive past some of Killingly's lakes and reservoirs. No history this time. No popular stops or local points of interest (well, maybe just one). Just a leisurely drive, starting briefly in Foster, RI, then into Killingly, CT. Three different cameras provide three different points of view from the car. This was recorded before peak foliage. Other videos to come for foliage watching...
Quick Drive Through Boston, Over Stunning Zakim Bridge
Просмотров 1342 месяца назад
Driving over bridges, through tunnels, over the Zakim. Why is the so-called "Smalltown Explorer" driving in Boston? Good question, glad you asked. It happened that the quickest route between two particular towns I wanted to explore, required driving through Boston. Not by its vast (busy) streets, but by its multiple highway, tunnel, and bridge system. Naturally, I had cameras rolling. If you en...
French River. Autumn Nature Walk. Thompson, CT
Просмотров 1182 месяца назад
I DO NOT RECOMMEND MAKING THIS WALK. It's a quickie, colorful walk along a small section of the French River. It's not a proper trail. There's an off-road scenic car stop, and I followed the terrain against the bumper along a main road. Why? Because this section of river is beautiful this time of year. But it's not the safest. So I made the short walk with my dog, of course so that you don't ha...

      Really appreciate the comments. Thanks. FUTR stands for Further Up The Road. I thought it would be a cute way of suggesting that an (very particular) accompanying video edit had cut to a time further ahead on the same road or highway (and that it sounds like FUTURE geeked me out). I guess I had a silly thought that it would catch on, but after almost two years of using it, you're the first person to ever mention it. What do you think? Should I drop it or continue using it as an inside secret or "code" to people who like the channel?

      You're very welcome. And I will add that everything from the types of headstones, to epitaphs, to the style of lettering, and even sentence structure says a lot about villages and hamlets back then--they seem to copy each other. That creates almost a style or theme for a certain time period, in a certain cemetery, or corner of that cemetery. Or not.
