    Autumn on Pomeroy Cove

    The sea grasses turn golden in autumn at Pomeroy Cove, a tidal section of the Piscataqua River in Dover, New Hampshire. Colorful foliage from the distant trees and an old dock extending toward the water’s edge provide an interesting background to the gentle wavelets lapping the shore.

    Nearby Hilton Park is named for European settlers Edward and William Hilton, fishmongers from London, who arrived at Pomeroy’s Cove in the ship “Providence” of Plymouth in 1623. The Dover Library website provides more detail on this area in their Heritage Walking Tour page.

    The Cocheco River, bank-full from recent rains, spills over the dam at Watson Road in Dover, New Hampshire. Early morning mist glows yellow-orange from the rising sun. The dam gatehouse stands solemnly over waters calm enough to reflect images of the weathered brown and gray wood siding and the vibrant green spring foliage of the trees lining the river banks.
