Tis the Season

 

My husband and I got up early today and headed out to a Christmas tree farm that I had heard about from a friend. My family and I had always gone to one particular farm in the area but the prices were getting steeper by the year. This farm ( which is a local best kept secret ) has trees for only $ 20!, yup $ 20!! You tag it then go back in December and cut it down.

The gate opened up at 9:00 promptly and the crowd of hearty New Englanders sprinted across the fields like  frolicking children to quickly claim their own tree!

It was a lot of fun!

Fall in New England

Yikes!, it’s been a long time since my last blog post! Life has a way of creeping up.

This will be my condensed version of fall in New England…I think…

I love taking photos of EVERYTHING!, so bear with me on this one. I promise not to get “too wordy.”

I’ll start by putting in some of my Walker Homestead Fall Show photos, which by the way was WONDERFUL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a memorable show, it was especially nice to be able to have Noel, Verge & Mark sign their new book for me. It’s a clever rendition of the classic story

“Twas the Night Before Christmas”

This picture book is filled with some eye catching photography of some quintessential New England scenes, some places you may recognize! It also has some great holiday decorating tips tucked in here and there.

I’ll treasure my book for years to come!

 

The following photos are a collection of some of my favorite fall photography.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
