"The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Linking up with Nancy at A Rural Journal for Random 5 Friday.
Stop by to say "hi".
1. This morning I saw a "venue" of turkey vultures. No, I did not know that a group of vultures was a "venue". But I like it! They were very cool looking, trading places along the fence. I tried to get the shot with wings spread... but, of course, I'm not quick enough. They may be preparing for flight.
2. Autumn in New York is absolutely fabulous so far. Of course, the past 2 Octobers brought us the terrible Sandy Hurricane, and the one before that we had a treacherous freak snow storm, both the last week in October leaving us without power for days...so for Christmas Santa brought us these awesome lanterns and radios that the elves picked up from LL Bean. So get out there with your Canon, Nikon, Samsung Galaxy, or even your Iphone, or Ipad and capture Mother Nature at its finest.
3. The gorgeous colors of Nina's Sassafras tree make for a lovely display. Yes, I snagged a few branches while wandering the gardens at Two Crow Cottage with a nice glass of apple cider!

I hope you enjoy your weekend to the fullest! Autumn is beautiful in your part of the country!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking too, of the last several falls, which have brought way too much rain, wind and other yucky weather. So far, so good this year. You've got some beautiful shots of fall here!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! I love the colors of autumn, and I'm glad that you are enjoying October in NY after the last few have been so rough. My stepdaughter lives in Queens, so we follow the weather there closely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend of reflection and meditation. I'm looking forward to doing the same starting next week!
No better place to celebrate Autumn! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the meditations in the mudst of the beauty of autumn! Your Pictures are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI learned something new...I did not know that a group of vultures was called a venue! Thanks for that bit of information.
ReplyDeleteThat sassafrass really thrilled me. I used to live in NYC and would see those wonderful mitten leaves in the summers at camp. But I never saw them in their autumn redness. I miss their unique and seductive scent.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your photos are gorgeous. I love the pops of colour!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics. The pumpkins are so pretty!
