I love Fall fishing, or is it Autumn fishing? So I looked it up. Autumn is the more formal term while Fall is the term most widely used, especially in New England. I was sitting on my front porch as the sun was rising. I was enjoying the brisk morning air. The leaves were spectacular, and getting even more so as the sun rose. As the sun rose the color of the leaves changed hues as if lit up by a color wheel. Then I heard that unmistakable sound of a couple flocks of Canadian Geese honking encouragement in “V” formation.

The sounds, colors and smells of Fall never get old.

The quality of the colors is always a topic of speculation among the locals and the tourists. I was recently in Manchester, Vermont, visiting the Orvis flagship store and the American Museum of Fly Fishing. I overheard some tourists from “Away’ discussing the leaves and their thoughts that the colors were not as spectacular this year. This got me thinking about the one lesson I seemed to have retained from Art 101 in college, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” so put on your art eyes.
