Fall

I love Fall. The air is so crisp and clean. There’s a slight chill in the air in the morning and everything seems so cheerful and care free. And then you go to work... but that’s another issue. :-)

Yeah I know, it’s not technically Fall yet. But try telling that to my trees outside. They are getting in full swing. We are going to try something a bit different this year for viewing the Fall colors. We are going to take a canoe trip and view them from a river. I’ll probably pack a lunch and we’ll stop somewhere to have lunch, taking photos along the way. I’ll include more details on that later. Then a week after that, we are off to the Portland, Maine area for Kent’s birthday.

On Saturday, after the morning rain showers had cleared off, we went out to Mashapaug Pond to just take a leisurely walk through the wood. Below is the interactive map with the photos that we took. We had a great time.

Then yesterday, we went to Newport, Rhode Island for the 10-mile Scenic Tour. We wanted to do it a few weeks ago but decided to wait for a nice sunny day. Well, that day was yesterday. It was gorgeous out and prime weather for beautiful seascapes. I’m working on the photos and will publish them most likely sometime this week.

Other than that, things are going well. I’m already looking forward to next weekend when we do that final lawn mowing and tidying up around the house to get ready for winter.

NOTE ABOUT THE INTERACTIVE PHOTO MAPPING BELOW:

1) to use this functionality, your browser must support Inline Frames and be configured to display them.

2) If you are a subscriber of email alerts from this website, the interactive map will not work in your email client. You need to click on the TITLE of the email entry to take you to the original entry on the website.

3) The more you zoom in, it will start to separate photos into their true position. If you are zoomed out a bit, it may say that there are 5 photos in one location. If you zoom in on that same location a bit more, you will see that there are actually 3 photos taken in one location, and a few feet away, the other two.

4) The map looks really cool in “Hybrid”.
