When Providence, Rhode Island Turns Amber

One weekend during early November, I took a day trip up to Providence, Rhode Island. I had a busy October chasing foliage all over New England and beyond. The foliage seems to arrive to cities last — namely Providence.

I stopped in Plant City first for lunch. I’ve always enjoyed every meal there. Located right next to the River Walk which is where I started the photography walk.

From River Walk, I headed into College Hill neighborhood up to Brown University. I was very fortunate that it seemed to be the perfect peak for the foliage in Providence. It was a stunning day!

After walking around Brown University — a beautiful college campus with buildings to admire, I had to go in Providence Athenæum. It is easily one of my top 5 favorite libraries. It is opened to the public with a pay-what-you-can donation (usually $5 is suggested). I can’t believe this library even exists, it is so gorgeous.

Ended the day with a drink from Dave’s Coffee. I’m a regular at the Charlestown location so it was fun to see a new-to-me location. The drink was perfect fuel for the drive back home to Mystic, Connecticut after a fun day in Providence.
