I hadn't been to the Reedy Meadow boardwalk for much of the summer, and late one afternoon last week, I headed down suspecting that the combination of setting sunlight and early foliage could be just the combination for a good outdoor photo gallery.

Here is what I brought back - the area's foliage has yet to fully emerge for the season, but the hints of things to come are visible and basically just offer a bit more color than you would get there in July.
