Trash Paddler: All the Leaves Are Gone

In paddling the above pictured bit of the Sudbury River last Sunday morning the lyrics to the song California Dreamin' came to mind: All the leaves are brown (gone in this case), and the sky is gray, I've been for a walk (paddle in this case) on a winter's day. At the Sudbury/Assabet confluence I drifted down the Concord River passing the Concord Minuteman who's been standing sentinel there since the 1875 Centennial.
