My daughter and I had a great hike today at Huntington State Park. Thousands of trees were down and snapped off from the recent snowstorm blocking the paths at every turn.
Fall
Trick or Treat?
With no power, we had a very different type of Halloween. No trick or treaters, conventional style. No one left their homes due to downed live power lines. Our trick or treat was purely at mother nature’s behest. A freak snow storm. Cold darkness with orange candlelight and convivial togetherness huddled around a continually stoked … Read more
My New Pastel Painting: In Kent with Jill
This I just painted of a stunningly memorable afternoon in Kent with my friend Jill. We do not have colors like these this year…
Flowers of Indian Summer
During the stellar weather we’ve been having lately, I’ve enjoyed these flowers…
Photos of a Marsh Morning
As of yesterday, we have a bridge being replaced on one of our most commonly used back roads. For six months we will have to go a less direct and less familiar route. These photos are of my new view, taken out of the car’s window on the way to an early appointment.
Autumn Enhanced Architecture
I live in a beautiful area. You can get a whiff of it here, enhanced by the golden season around us.
Early Vibrant Vines
I screeched to a halt on a bike ride to take these photos. (Not bad for an iPhone, right?) These early vines are so vibrant and they are a precursor of things to come… I love the medley of colors!
Other Fall Photos
Well, the leaves are down now and our first frost has abruptly withered the flowers. It is hard to imagine now on this gray day spangled with bare branches that these photos were taken only last week. Enjoy…
Photos of Red Maples
A week ago these trees were glowing and awesome, beginning to blanket the ground in crimson carpets. Now these radiant leaves are totally gone for another year. In every “now” there is beauty to behold. That’s why I screeched to a halt to capture these images and to bask in their glory. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Photos
Pumpkins are wonderful. After all, they’re such a great color… Enjoy this year’s photos of them…
Photos of a Wordless Walk
I was inspired to invite my husband on an unusual walk today, where we both agreed in advance that we would not say one word for the entire walk. We are of a marriage of many words, maybe too many, given how wonderful this wordless walk was! Friends of mine with taciturn husbands often marvel … Read more
Photos of Fall Foliage 2009 Part 2
Yesterday I posted on this blog Part 1 of my fall foliage series (see here), which I continue today. Enjoy…
Photos of Fall Foliage 2009 Part 1
Since a child I’ve loved a deep blue October sky fringed in fall leaves. I like everything about it, the smell, the crunch and swish underfoot, and the crisp air. I am grateful every year that I get to live in a place where this beauty unfolds before me. What a joy to move through … Read more
