Summer 2016

I've been a real homebody this summer, for many reasons.  I haven't done anything except stitch.  I did venture out a couple times for pretty sunsets and some other photo ops in the yard.

Full moon on summer solstice.

Dew on spider web.

Juicy blackberries! Not quite ripe though.

Little Hoxie Pond, East Sandwich.  

Little Hoxie Pond.

Also in E. Sandwich.  As of the date of this photo, which was 10/3, it was the only tree with full on brilliant colour, which especially stood out on an otherwise grey day.  I was driving when I saw this fiery maple, and I may have slowed the car down somewhat abruptly in order to turn around at the next driveway I saw in order to go back and take photos.

I don't think I've seen a tree this bright in years.

Never seen anything like these before!

On the way through town I detoured to take some pics of this old building that burned the weekend of 10/1. It has been an eyesore for years, since before I moved in 1989, so you can only imagine what it looked like to me 22 years later.  I meant to stop over the summer and shoot it but never did.  

Apparently the state of this building has been a bone of contention between the owners and the town government. The plan was to tear this down and rebuild a multi-use condo/office building.  The project stalled out.  And suddenly it "accidentally" burns down on a very, very rainy night.  Everyone, and I do mean everyone, knows it was burned down on purpose.  Upon hearing the news and seeing the pics the next day, I believe my words were, "How convenient."

Back in BBay, I took a drive down Main Street to see if anyone had decorated.  Sadly, I found only a couple of fall-themed items.  I'm hoping that more appear in town as the month goes on.

I got lucky with this.

And another dewy web!
