September

The month may be long gone, but here are some images showing the brink of autumn upstate.

Ent hunt

We spotted this fella on a walk down a quiet road. I asked him about The Hobbit movie but couldn't rouse him to get any answers. Not sure if he was sleepy or uppity.

A closer look.

Who cairns?

OK, a cairn is made of stones, but look at these things. They were found down a gravel seasonal road and their origin remains unknown. Though perhaps they were built by the owner of the strangely placed home below, many miles from any body of water.

Secret Ceremony

Recent reconstruction of the back deck of the main house led to a strange discovery, this never before documented instance of flower pots bowing before their deity, the canoe. While I remain tolerant and non-judgmental, I can't deny my surprise.

Fruity Fall

In the already long gone days of early autumn, the yard was aglow with crab apple and pear trees bursting with ripe fruit.

I've never eaten so many pears in one month, best roasted with honey.

Tricks in the Light

A bit of fun with long exposures and a remote control.
Thanks to Dan and Owen for their glowing contributions.

Please keep left for chaos, right for infinity.

Oops, chaos led to music and infinity to the cross.

I call this one, "Crazy Face."

Pyramid of fire.

The sky from some time ago, the heady days of early September.
