Lingering Fall

Dry conditions with balmy days and nights seem to create a lingering fall....  (No heavy frost, so we're still harvesting peppers from the garden.)

Stella surveys her frontier....

Some Colors -- At Last !

... but not with the brilliance of past years.

Favorite Hike -- Buffalo Mountain

Always enjoy this trek.  Intricate textures of the clouds add an fascinating touch.  And recently the access road to the trailhead has been "tamed!!

Late Spring Spectacle

This late spring flower spectacle repeats itself every year -- and the amazement never diminishes...

Pond Idyll

Evening light enhances the visual -- accompanied by a rhapsody of frogs, birds & insects. It's moods vary throughout the day & night...  Always pleasant to live by a pond.

Middle Spring

All on normal schedule now... Cool & dry has been overpowered by warm & rain.  Spring marches forward!

Early Spring

First blooms of spring have crept out on us quite suddenly -- yellow forsythia, purple Grecian wind flowers, the white stellata magnolia, even the fragrant plum... and, of course, the ubiquitous clumps of daffodils scattered about...

Pretty Winter Morning

   Perfectly pleasant in every way...

Last Light

The waning light at dusk after a small snowfall ....

Winter "Greens"

Despite the single digit air temperatures, the consistent "warmth" of ever-flowing water from the spring house maintains the vibrant greens of grasses, moss and watercress.

A Gentle First Snow

A seasonal rite of passage to take a walk in the first winter snow....
