Fall Festival Family Day at Assumption

foliage starting to change in central Massachusetts

Yesterday I went to Assumption College in Worcester, MA to see my oldest granddaughter, Katie. It was family day at the college. The college grounds are beautiful. I had never seen the college before. We saw Katie's room, dorm, and Katie gave us a tour of the whole campus and had a lovely brunch in the lunch room.

don't know what kind of tree this is, but the bumpy fruit was pretty

The weather was overcast, and a little chilly but at least the rain had stopped. The night before we got 2.5 inches of rain, and it is raining again this morning.

The red tail hawk above had caught a squirrel. I was able to get about 5 feet to take the above photos. I only posted a few of the pics I took, because I know some would find them disturbing, but it is nature, and to survive the birds must eat. I know..gross, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity of capturing this large bird of prey when the opportunity presented itself. A staff member told me that the hawk is around the college grounds.

After leaving the college my son drove me around to show me some of the area.
