Along the banks of the Mascoma River not far from the lake itself is Mill Road, a Lebanon, NH municipal trail. Permitted uses include walking, horses, bicycles, and snowmobiles. It forms a nice loop with parts of the Northern Rail Trail. My wife and I took shorts walks along Mill Road two early mornings this week. The first time I didn’t bring a tripod, shame on me, but managed to photograph the river with complimentary early golden light and blue shade. 
On the return trip I made a photo of Mill Road with just a piece of the river in the background. The river reflected the golden light on the late fall foliage and the blue of the sky a bit further along the road. This photo was taken at 1/6 seconds to blur the water. I braced my camera against a tree when I made the photo.
For the second hike I brought my tripod. This meant that Jann and I really didn’t walk together except at the start. I set up to take a photo, then another, and another. After what seemed like a very short time she returned down the road having gotten a lot more exercise than I did. We walked back together, but then there was another photo to be taken, so she finished without me.
Here are some of the photos I took. You will see three version of one of them; I fiddled a bit in Photoshop with a few home-brewed techniques.
