Fall In Love

The park is just a short walk from our house.


Our daughters are going to be sad when they see this sign.


Looks like someone needs a sign like that on her fridge.




There - thats really what I was trying to photo.




There are 58 acres in this park. I forgot how many variety of trees.



Some autumn reds.


Stocking the pantry for winter.


The smaller duck pond. (Same size ducks, smaller pond)




The Band Stand Gazebo.





Picking a bouquet.


For my coffee table.

Great pics..I like the shadows!!
However, I must add..your house is so clean! No wonder you can gather leaves and display them! In my place, they would disappear into a pile of anything lying around,and I would probably find them a few months from now...moldy and gross!!

I just love your photos. Since it's still in the upper 80s here, seeing your pictures reminds me there's a whole other world out there!

Beautiful pics -

But "no feeding ducks?" all my childhood memories have just been slammed into the sidewalk.

LOVE the shadow pic.

LOVE the squirrel pic.

I have never made a bouquet of fall leaves, but can't get enough of the diverse color this time of year. What a FANTASTIC idea to bring it indoors! I'll have to go outside my yard, though :(. We used to have some beautiful trees at our house in SC--maple and oak--and their fall show was breathtaking. I sure do miss 'em.

My favorite is the smaller duck pond.

I have picked up individual leaves and stuck them in my ficus tree at work.
I wonder if the custodian found them over the weekend ):

The night after we took these pictures we had a heavy frost. So I'm sure there have been amazing changes in one day.

Nice pictures! My favorite was the squirrel picture - it kind of looks like me cramming an entire chocolate doughnut in my mouth!

Your squirrel picture reminds me of the squirrel I saw today but the one I saw was dead. A cat was seen leaving the vicinity so perhaps we interrupted his snack. :(

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, so I love these pictures! I love to visit the park with my 4 year old twin daughters this time of year! Love the squirrel picture, but my favorite is also the small pond. We feed the ducks every chance we get here, I'm sorry that you and your daughter cannot do that :(

Love that reflection picture-the tree.

The squirrel was cute, too.

Beautiful park-kind of like VT.

That certainly is some beautiful landscape. As someone from Vermont, I'd have to disagree. I think the Pacific northwest looks quite different from the northeast but that's just my take. Beautiful in its own way.

love, love, love it! Beautiful pictures. I love ducks! They are so fun, but so sad that you can't fatten them up!

BTW - you've been tagged!

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
