Well, it seems as though Autumn here on the New England coast has just about reached its peak ... it's gotten to the point where I even love running mindless errands, just so I can see the different colors everywhere. Days like these remind me how blessed I am to be a part of this amazing world ... lucky as a ladybug in fact. Today I had a long list of errands all over town and actually remembered (high five for me!) to bring my camera along in the front seat so that I could share some of what I see every day around town ... it started off cloudy, then got very bright and sunny for about an hour or two, then returned to cloudy again - so my light is all over the place ... but I think it gives you the idea! First some close shots ...
Now some perspective ...
The harbor has become quite a ghost town compared to just 6 weeks ago ... quiet and empty as winter looms ...
Sometimes it amazes me how enormous the trees are around here ... just imagine how old they must be ...
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

October's Party

I just love big tree lined streets!
Not to many of those in IL!
The colors are beautiful.
I would have loved to see the harbor with blue skies in the background!
I bet that's a post card shot!
Enjoy the day
Sometimes I think we're so lucky (as ladybugs!) to live here.

These pix make me want to move back to NE. Love the fall colors and the harbor is simply gorgeous. There's nothing like a quaint NE town. *sigh*
Still waiting for my Halloween party invite. My mailbox has been empty though. :(
