Had to run a quick errand in East Sandwich so I stopped for some snappies. This is the smaller part of Hoxie Pond off Old County Road. Normally those trees would be yellow, red and orange.
This was pretty much the sum total of the foliage in the area.
I drove a little ways into West Barnstable and still no colourful trees, although The Whipple Tree shop was festively decorated.
Back to town to hit up Sandy Neck Beach real quick
View of the dunes from the parking lot.
Tooling back down Rte. 6A I stopped at this gallery for a couple pics, although it was closed and I didn't get the name of it.
This was a very, very high tide so I pulled off at Scorton Creek to get this shot of the flooded marshes.
I loooooove this place! They make beautiful glass and are responsible for building "The Giants" that are put up at various businesses in town at Christmas. They are lit at night and are a beautiful site to behold. I think there are over 30 giants now. I used to go around at the holidays and shoot them but I don't drive at night very well anymore.
Next up, hunting for more Sandwich Glass.
Hmm, would expect more fall colors happening there. Think more, (but not much) happening here. We are mostly losing leaves. It's beautiful country there. That glass stuff is fantastic. If I had the room, I would love a glass pumpkin. Gorgeous in the sun! Thanks for the trip!
ReplyDeleteOur fall season has been mostly warm and humid with no frost so the leaves didn't change. We were in E. Sandwich yesterday and there was way more colour but it was also pouring rain so I didn't bother bringing my camera.
DeleteWhere has your fall gone this year? If it's anything like Florida, we just got our first fall weather day yesterday. Absolutely love all the stuff from the glass studio! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYou too Martha! I don't know what happened. I was in town today with my camera and there was no point in stopping...nothing of note to take pics of.
DeleteI remember a fall where it froze hard before any of the leaves started changing color, and all the leaves just fell off.
ReplyDeleteThe glass pieces you show are fabulous. Can't go wrong with glass.
Good luck finding more Sandwich Glass!
Thanks! Yeah it's been totally a bust here, leaves-wise. They had nice colour up north though.
DeleteFall is not working this year because it has been so warm. Love those glass pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteWaaaay too warm. I swear it's going to go from heat to snow with zero fall!
DeleteThis Hoxie Pond off Old County Road is so gorgeous.. I love the picture of railroad...
ReplyDeleteThanks Krishna! That's actually just a tiny slice of it. The majority of the pond is on the other side of the tracks. Very pretty area.
