fall colors at the Acushnet Sawmill
At the edge of New Bedford’s urban North End sits The Sawmill, Sometimes called the Acushnet Sawmill, I am not sure if strictly speaking if it is in New Bedford or Acushnet oor maybe it covers both it is a a 19-acre former industrial lumber yard on the Acushnet River. This Buzzards Bay Coalition-owned public park protects the river’s health and offers local residents of all ages a beautiful place to explore the outdoors here at the Acushnet River Reserve
its a spot I used to visit often as it iis close to where our Daughter in Law used to work in a salon and my wife would go there once or twice a week to get her hair done, and while she was there I would pop to this park and take a walk around.
the lease ended and the landlord did not extend it, so the daughter in Law started working elsewhere and not doing hair so my wife goes elsewhere now.
But withthe fall colors coming out here and it being pretty cool at sunrise, I have skipped early morning walks, but got out in mid afternoon a few times to catch the fall colors and the sawmill is one of the spots I went to and will share a few shots from there in this post
I took a bunch of shots there but quickly edited a few for this post
Starting with a shot of this building at the entrance to the sawmill

and one of the paths at the entrance, all of these shots are probably taken inthe first 5 minutes in the park, I was there for probably 45 Minutes, my second of three stops to catch the fall colors that day, the first spot I visited I will share some shots of in next weeks Wednesday walk post, and the rest of the shots I will get around to edit and sharing at some time, may save some to edit and share in winter when getting tired of the dull grey days

at the back of the building by the entrance is this area, the the curved stone seating, I have seen a couple of times what looked like a school trip students sitting there and a teacher or someone knowledgable of the sawmill talking to the students
