Quinapoxet Basin
Ventured out to the West Boylston rail trail for a walk tonight. Unfortunately our walk was not to happen. The rail trail was closed due part of it being washed out. Seems that about 1/4 mile in from the Oakdale entrance, some beavers built a dam. This caused some flooding which eventually led to part of the rail trail being washed out. The trail is closed until further notice.
All was not wasted on this trip. While there I noticed the fog was rolling in on the Quinapoxet Basin. I was able to capture this photo before it became too dark. The fog gives it an eerie glow, almost looking like ice.

I like this. My eye stayed in the picture for a while trying to figure out the reflection. Isn’t it great how sometimes when you go out with images in mind to capture and something entirely different comes into view? You just have to be open to whatever comes your way. Enjoy Monochrome Monday. You aren’t too far from Quincy!
