the rockettes link arms for their finale.

alas their legs aren't what they used to be.

happy halloween.

(sunset lake road, brattleboro)

approach with caution

halloween is nearly upon us

life is

bootiful

wee orange pumpkins

climbing the weary steps

shrouded farm

in the adirondacks

is there anything more inviting on a raw october day

than a used-book store?

(books and baskets, saranac lake, ny)

the last roses of summer

yearn toward a dispassionate sun

(high street)

an elbow of old roof

pokes the frivolity of autumn in its chest

(spring street)

the sun has a particular fondness

for high street

in the afternoon

one still moment

in the infinite progression of time

(orchard street, brattleboro)

i'm off on a weekend jaunt.

hope you all have as much fun as i plan to have.

the trees

are telling such poignant tales

(elysian hills tree farm, dummerston, vermont)

little red shed

amid papery shreds of gold

may your box always be filled

with love letters

(kelly road, w. brattleboro)

red house in autumn

on sunset lake road.

born unicorn

yet wise to the world of men

(thank you, gateglimt, for being my 200th follower)

autumn trails its saffron fingers

in the drowsy connecticut river

(in memory of wilfred)

barns reconcile themselves

to the passing of seasons

and the weight of the sky.

such a tender green shoulder

in an autumn-trimmed frock

the air tastes crisp

as fresh-picked apples

(miller road, brattleboro, vermont)

seven little squash, all in a row

a parade of pumpkins on highland street

something in the way she moved

fascinated me

can any one tell me how i managed to get these top two shots?

i'd love to experiment more with the effect but haven't a clue how i did it.

in autumn

the sun begins to flood fields with pale prisms of color

do you suppose this fellow

has anger management issues?

(preparing for halloween at gaines farm, guilford, vermont)

this image might be a shoe-in

for the muddiest shot of the day.

enlarge it if you aren't too squeamish.

(gaines farm, guilford, vermont)

which would you choose to eat

from the spooky sweet shop in salem, massachusetts?

for vogon poet

taken in salem, massachusetts

a beautiful network

(almost as beautiful as the CDP network)

what would you make

with these gifts from the garden?

(no we didn't grow the lemon, jacob,

that's a bonus ingredient)

honey in the comb

warmed by the sun

blue towers

west brattleboro, vermont

dancing on water

in shelburne falls, massachusetts

a most wonderful sort of graffiti

found on a boarded-up basement window in shelburne falls, massachusetts
