Happy Halloween!

Here is another Fall photo I took last weekend this time of a small stream. I know you all must be getting sick of all these Fall pictures but Fall is probably my favorite season so I love taking photos during this time of the year.

I took this photo on Saturday at a state park. It was a beautiful New England fall day and there were lots of people out enjoying the cool fall weather so I was surprised to see this bench with an amazing view empty.

Here is a photo I took a week or so ago at the Andover State Forest in Andover MA. The colors looked even better in the reflections then on the actual trees I thought!

I went to a farm last weekend and this goat was taking a nice break from doing whatever it is that goats do!

While hiking last weekend I came upon this pine tree with a red leaf lying on it and I really liked the contrast of the never changing life filled evergreen with the red dying leaf.

I got the inspiration to take this photo after I saw some flower petals on the ground near my back porch that had fallen off these clematis flowers because of the colder Fall weather. So I decided to create a sort of still life of fallen leaves and flower petals. I went around the yard and found as many different colored leaves as I could and then placed them in a pile with the fallen petals. This is the result.

Here is another photo from over the weekend this time of a pink rose.

Here is another photo I took yesterday at Borderland State Park looking straight up a tree.

I had the chance to visit my brother today and we went to Borderland State Park in Easton MA. The foliage was near its peak and the colors were amazing! I only had my new Panasonic TZ5 with me and not my Pentax DSLR but I think it performed well. Here is a shot of a goose in one of the ponds there that was stretching his wings.

BTW I want to thank everyone for your kind comments for my last post as it reached the 20 comment mark and I think that is a record for me! So thanks for the comments everyone!

Here is a photo I took last weekend looking across Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield MA.

Thanks to a reader I have found out what the mysterious berries are that I posted about last week. Since so many people where trying to help me figure out what they are called I thought I would post this update in case anyone wants to see the information.  Click here to see the Image of the Wild Berries and read the updated post.

Here is another of the large trees at Salem Willows park in Salem, MA. I thought the roots to this huge tree looked almost like feet. Who knows maybe its Treebeard from the “Lord of the Rings”!

Since so many people where trying to figure out what “The Blue Thing” was in my last post I thought it would be fun to post a different  photo than I planned to today of “The Blue Thing” and name todays post after the comments that many people made yesterday wondering what it was. So here is the Salem Water Tower in all its glory. Thanks for helping me come up with a title! 

Here is a photo I took of Salem Harbor a couple of days ago.

I went to Salem Willows Park in Salem, MA yesterday and in the park they have a good number of very large, very old trees. Here is a shot looking up one of them.
