New England Walk in Autumn

I know I usually post something horror-related,

but today I wanted to show another aspect of

The Countdown to Halloween,

Autumn!

Here are pictures from a walk I took a few days ago,

just my little dog and myself,

on a beautiful Autumn day here in New England!

This photo doesn't do justice to the vibrant beauty this tree had.

It was bright and orange and wonderful.

Liked this, because the leaves were still partially green,

but Autumn was working its magic.

This is a photo of an abandoned mill complex I walk by.

Much creepier at night!

Another shot of the mill.

Is someone looking back through a broken window pane?

I love walking, but I love walking in October the best,

especially on warm days like this one.

Breathtaking!

Small pond on the way.

The water was so still, like a mirror.

Hard to make out, but those are ducks,

swimming along.

Another shot of the pond.

Colors are just getting started, too!

This is one of the roads I love,

because it is almost car-free.

So peaceful and quiet.

A few times, the wind would blow,

and my dog and I were in the middle of a shower of leaves!

Hope you enjoyed talking part in my walk.

I love living in New England in the Fall!

Creative Blogger Award

First off, hope you like the new layout for the blog. I liked the new editing features Blogspot offered and played around with them. I like, anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Second, Drake @ Eclectic Banana awarded some of his favorite blogs/tumblrs the following:



I am very thankful for it, even if my creativity here has been lacking. And I am honored be among the great blogs he chose for to receive this. Thanks, Drake!

I am SUPPOSED to pick seven more blogs to honor, but many I like have already been awarded this one. So, I will award it to any of you reading this who have a creative blog of your own! Feel free to add it to your roster of awards.

Supposed to state seven facts about myself, but I have done that before and don't really have any 'new' facts to add. Although one thing that is new is our new puppy, TJ:

He is a shelter dog (originally called Pierre - didn't fit him), and we adopted him back in February. He is almost 7 months old and he has A LOT of energy.

TJ is probably one of the reasons for the lack of creative postings here, come to think of it! hahaha
