Moon Over Wing


The moon was coming up yesterday evening and as we were leaving the balloon fest. I thought this looked interesting over the wing of the LC130.

Clowning Around

Just clowning around in a hot air balloon.

Ripples


We recently went geocaching around this reservoir. It was a gorgeous day and I caught this kayaker paddling across the water. It was so peaceful.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

This little guy was crawling across our picnic table. After some research, we have decided it is a Banded Tufted Tussock Moth...that is a mouth full. He was very pretty.

Golden Tinge

We are getting into one of the loveliest times of year in the northeast. The trees are taking on a tinge of gold and will soon burst into color. The nights are getting cold and the days are warm and wonderful.

Reflections


I love my garden pond. (I'm pretty sure I've said that before! ) Every time I stop there is something to enjoy, this time it was the lovely reflections of the bright blue sky.

Summer Gold


We are still getting corn out of our garden. It was planted later than usual and it is nice having fresh corn so late in the season.

Little Piggies

I wonder where all these little feet will travel in their lifetime.

Rose of Sharon


Rose of Sharon is a very nice fall blooming shrub. This particular variety is a double bloom and is a lovely pink purple shade.

Soccer!

Soccer season has begun!

Summer Bounty

We are getting to the end of our summer harvest. It has been quite dry the last few weeks and a lot of the vine crops have started with wither. We have a lot of tomatoes and corn still coming and our pumpkins are ripening nicely. Each year we try and do a little better with our garden and this summer's yield has been good.

Scavenger Hunt

The other day I did a scavenger hunt for the kids. I asked them to find various things from around the yard, ferns, moss, leaves, bark, I even threw in a dead insect and they were able to find a few. They had a lot of fun and I was pleased with their perseverance with finding things.

Moth

This little guy stopped and rested on my computer screen. He stayed there for quite a while. Thankfully he was towards the top of the screen. so I didn't have to bother him.
