Pequest Autumn ...

“But memory is an autumn leaf that murmurs a while in the wind and then is heard no more.”

     ~ Khalil Gibran

     ~ 1883 ~ 1931

The reflection of autumn leaves colorfully cascades across the Pequest River as it flows through the middle of town in Belvidere, New Jersey, a Delaware River Town, on a perfect Indian Summer afternoon in early November.

The Pequest ~ Native American for “open land” ~ is a tributary of the Delaware River. It tumbles down to Belvidere in a series of falls, where it meets the Delaware.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, is a charming, Victorian town located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

 

Autumn Cascade ...

"The music of the far-away summer
flutters around the autumn 
seeking its former nest."
                       ~ Rabindranath Tagore
                                ~ 1861-1941

Autumn cascades like a capricious
melody over a small waterfall on the Pequest River on a picturesque Indian Summer day in 
Belvidere, New Jersey.

The Pequest - Native American for "open land," -
tumbles down to Belvidere in a series of falls,
where it meets the mighty Delaware River,
of which it is a tributary.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places,
is a charming Victorian town on the banks
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.         

A River Runs Through It ...

"But memory is an autumn leaf that
murmurs a while in the wind
and then is heard no more."
                   ~ Khalil Gibran
                                 ~ 1883-1931

Leaves frame the autumn colors cascading across the Pequest River as it flows through the middle of town in Belvidere, New Jersey on a perfect Indian Summer day in November.
