It's Fall in New England #3

great shots of the winterberry VV and at Arnold's Arboretum - need to get there next spring

Those 2 shots of the woods, Victor, also bring me back to my old stomping grounds! I can even smell the air there! (ooops! Wrong thread! lol!)
Great pics!

love the fire tower shot

Thanks.

I've been busy for the last day or two making chocolates for my Grandaughter's Halloween parties.

Good way to get over your craving of chocolate really quick...make about a couple dozen of these.

those are great Pixie!!

Then top it off with a couple dozen cookies iced in royal icing and gel. (YUK)
My sweet tooth has been satisfied 10 fold. ^_^

DGD had a ball decorating the cookies after I baked them. It was so worth it.....until I looked at the sink full of dishes. LOL
The girls made this one cookie with slanted eyes....just one. So I had to ask why. Funny I would ask, it's me they said, Happy to be all done. YUP, it's ME!! LOL

Thanks Allison, I think I gained 5 pounds already. :(

wow I wouldn't be able to control myself with those cookies... and you look cute!!!.. can't eat that one though!!!

Yum!!

yours looks good

reminds me of being a kid

mmmmmm

DH did cookies for the band feed tonight(during 3rd Quater). 19 doz., he's craked! Love him anyway!

happy holloween

Me too JoAnn, I think thats why I enjoyed doing them with the girls so much. Well, that and they are beautiful Grandchildren! lol

Cute and yummy looking!

Meee Want Coo-ook-eeeee!!!! ^_^

Lovely pics, everyone! Having been sick all week, I've been missing out on getting any fall pics. There's still good color to be found out there, though.

Jen, I see why you don't like those burning bushes at your front steps. I think a JM would look great there.

Victor, the pics you took from the fire tower are gorgeous! Now that's what a New England fall is all about! You also got some really great shots of the bridges and rivers. I love the one with the freight train. Oh, and I'm jealous of your Koto No Ito! I really love your pic of the stream along the trail. Did you use a tripod for that shot? The ones of the reflections at Lake Hessian and Resevior Lake are great, too.

Kathy, I love your shots, too, especially the cows! That looked like fun!

VV, I love your shots, too, especially the stuwartias, and glad your enjoying your NE trip so much.

I've been so sick, otherwise I would have been out more getting some fall pics myself, but I did get out and take some pics in the yard today. Will post as soon as I can get them on the computer.

Yummy looking cookies, Celeste!

Hope you're back to normal soon, Karen!

No tripod - wish I had brought one. Tried my best to hold it steady. Thanks. That fire tower was the area where a plane supposedly went down later that day - but still no sign of it. Weird.

Well, you looked like you did really well holding it steady, there, Victor.

Hope they find that plane soon.

Okay, time for me to add some fall pics from my yard today.
