Foliage


The foliage has been doing it's thing around here.
It is very sad though that we have been without a camera to capture much of it. Boo-hoo. I finally hit my breaking point as I was receiving e-mail after e-mail from my horse owning friends with photos of their rides and the beautiful NH fall foliage. We finally picked up a new camera for John's birthday and we're back in business. I snapped this shot while out on the trail last weekend. This is an unnamed puddle, as far as I know, along the snowmobile trails in New Durham where I was riding with my dear friend Lois.
I am still trying to "learn" the new camera so with any luck there will be more photos to post soon. I had the camera with me on my ride last night but I was too slow to capture either the red tailed fox or the otter that I saw while I was out there. The sun was setting quickly so the brilliance of the day was gone with the growing shadows. Oh well. I'm not sure how many leaves will be left on the branches after today's rain and tomorrow's wind do their work. The seasons do change in a hurry.
I'm nearly finished with a sweater and have several other projects that I'm inching along so I'll have to photograph those soon. The kittens, who we affectionately call "thing one and thing two" in their current phase, are very active and entertaining even if they are a bit destructive too! I'm sure we're due to photograph them soon too.
We grew some large and odd pumpkins...maybe I'll get a photo there too. Lots to leave to the imagination tonight! I'm looking forward to sharing photos on the blog again soon.
