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 ...

murmurs a while in the wind
and then is heard no more."

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.
