Falling for Berries

I think we've all been waiting for Fall this year.
It's what I've been hearing all over Blogland.
This Summer had been brutal in some parts and we're all
wanting some relief.
Here in the Northeast we've started getting some cooler weather
and it couldn't have come soon enough.
Remember, I work outside everyday and though
I try not to complain about the heat
I
Don't
Love
it!

Besides the cooler weather the Fall is my favorite and mostly
for what happens in the garden.
The
Berries
You might be shocked but I did no altering to these pictures.
Not that they look it, but I just wanted to see if I could refrain.
Plus it takes more time.

and I rather like the contrast.

I said I tried




Bayberry that we found at the old dump which I have to
'clarify to everyone from my previous post about this place.
I must have given the impression that it was still the town dump.
It's been turned into a park but they still use the back part
for dumping leaves and turning into compost.
So don't be too jealous!!!
our dump, or should I say transfer station is just as unattractive
as everyone elses.
I was thinking I would like to take pictures of
our actual town dump
and maybe try to show the beauty there
...now there's a challenge!!!!
the problem is that the hours have been cut (due to budget tightening) 
and
I'm working when their open so it's been
 hard to get there but it's something I'm determined to do
this Fall.
DUMP PICTURES!!! woo hoo!

While we were relaxing on the bench I noticed these berries
and I hate to admit this but I don't know what they are???

I just loved the color of them.

I also found this guy there.
kinda cute!!!



I'm meeting him tonight.
So I've got to run.

I call him cowboy!!!

traci said...

Gorgeous images Carole. The berries just jump of the screen. Love them. I am so ready for fall. Everything about it.

Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photography said...

Hello Carole! Wooohooo...yep that's a cute 'cowboy' LOL!! I love your berry photo's...fall is my favorite time of year too although not as much as when I lived in the mountains in BC. There's something very exciting about getting firewood and putting food up for the winter when you know you're going to get 40-60 feet ..yes FEET of snow before spring. Good luck getting your 'dump' photo's...looking forward to seeing those! Have a wonderful Monday. Maura :)

Luiza said...

Yes, the berries and fruits are the best!!!
But I also love the contrasts of everything in the nature...

Wow, you go and have a wonderful time with your cowboy =)!

Tell us all about it , when you get back ;)!

Hi, Carole! Thanks so much for stopping by and welcoming me "back" to blogland. So fun to get caught up a little ... wish we could look at pics and read stories full time! (Now if I get someone to pay me to do that, I'll let you know, lol!) Here's a few notes from me ... i LOVE your history stuff ... (thought I remembered you from the Gris in 1776 when I stopped by .. hee hee) ... don't know what the orange berries are, but they and all the others look so great in your FAB photos ... painting oak ... makes me cringe ... but I am one of the few who like darker woods with my whites ... and the eucalyptus? try here for some info http://www.angelfire.com/bc/eucalyptus/euccoldhard.html .... finally ... I'd best let ya go for some time with your cowboy. Hugs and have a SUPER week!! Betty :)
