More Fall Flowers

I am up at the Cape for a few days--hope to get out to take a few photos tomorrow morning, but wanted to share these flowers taken at several places in the last week or so.

 Mums at my house--I saw great mums at the store 4/$10. & couldn't pass them up!

A seed pod, but I thought it was interesting looking.

 Mums with a nice birdbath

 Zinnias

 A colorful border

 Dahlia

The Trees are Loaded

With beautiful looking apples!

 Hope there are still some at the end of the week...the deer are enjoying all the ones that fall on the ground.  If Ii can get enough, I will probably make applesauce.

New Pet Photos

Not new pets, just new pictures.  We gave the dog a bath yesterday & his coat is nice & shiny, so I thought I'd take a few new photos. 

Of course Rafe won't sit & tries to come right up to the camera!

 Can't believe how white his muzzle is getting!

 And then there's Tuck--he loves his creature comforts.  He got up in the chair with me & then proceeded to pul the blanket down from the back of the chair so he could curl up on ( really under) it.

Another web!

I often take my camera with me when I walk down the driveway because I never know what I will spot!  Earlier in the week I looked into the trees & spotted this spider web--it was in a weird spot --I had to balance on a fallen log to get a photo!

But it was worth it!  Thes are hard to photography--need the light to be just right so it will show up.

Another Beautiful Fall Day

Started out very foggy --this is at the end of our driveway looking up the hill.

 Luckily it didn't take long for the fog to burn off--was still slightly overcast, but that's OK.  I had to drive a few towns away to pick up dog food ( heaven forbid we would run out while I wasn't home to go get more!)  had to pass by a favorite garden shop, so I stopped in to take a few shots...

 They had wonderful beds full of zinnias, coneflowers, mums and many other interesting flowers...like this one...

 And this --never have seen this type before & couldn't find a sign on it that identified it--will have to check on it.

Some Fall Color

Lots of leaves are starting to change--hope to get more photos in the next few days.  There are some cool reds and oranges on trees in the area.

Will have to watch out for all the leaf peepers soon!

Blog Blahs

Really have nothing much interesting happening around here. So I have the blahs. I'm finishing up with my main fair stuff this week & then will start the prep for next year!

Next week I'll be going back to Cape Cod for a few days to do some banking & legal stuff with my Aunt. My Mom had hoped to go with me, but she had a conflict-- I will be there to celebrate my Aunt's 97th birthday during the week! Then to Mom's for a few days to help her shop for drapes & some other stuff for her new place. Back home by the end of the week. Hopefully some new photos to share...... I took this photo today of this beautiful new rose--have a few blossoming this week!
