New England and Beyond

10/20/2016

The past month has been a journey through New England to visit family and friends, with a few days here and there of solo time as I attempt to return to society. Must I?

There were many laughs, some incredibly good food, a return to cycling roadways, and a bit of tourism here and there! While the weather felt more like summer most of the time, it was a gorgeous fall with trees just radiant in color. The photos will certainly tell the story better than I can in words.

I've now begun my slow journey south, and at the moment I'm spending my last night in Quakertown, PA at a former large country estate. I love hosteling! Tomorrow, work beckons!

Loved the pics, but you gotta choose between lobster or pumpkin. You can't be both.
Glad to have you home and I hope I get to see you.

Sue ... I really can't decide! Perhaps I can be seasonal and now I have 2 more options to choose! j.

So impressed with the range, variety, and food of your whirlwind visit through New England! You've captured the celebratory pluses of the autumn season. Great PA sites, though I thought that New England claimed wooden covered-bridges and foliage. Where's that Rochdale stream? Near Midland Trail?

A: Indeed PA was quite a fall spectacle and yes, many bridges --- a few years ago I rode the "covered bridge" ride starting in Lancaster, PA. If you turn right at the Clara Barton sign, you will see the stream in no time. I was biking by.

When I view the beauty of our country through your lens I am reminded of how little time we take to appreciate our surroundings. We have driven past Clara Barton sign countless times and never ventured beyond the main road.

I actually look cuter than Forest Gump...and my vote goes to the lobster cut-out photo, courtesy of the Maine inmates. Hilarious!

Forest Gump! That is funny! Agree with your comment on ignoring our nearby treasures. I've seen more of New England in the past 3 years than I did in the 34 years I lived there!

I'm now going to have to find a spring and winter cut-out personality!

HEY ... what gorgeous surroundings you have! Thank heaven we took many photos this visit. The cold? Yes, it's all yours. I continue pointing south in a few days :)

Love the Birthday Altar, by the way.

I've now had 4 of my 6 birthday celebrations already! That said, the altar only went up one more time (and not in its full glory).

Glad to see your Birthday Altar wasn't lost this year with your travels not allowing you to stay put too long. Wish I could have seen more of you.

As usual, your photos are spectacular and like Eileen, I have passed that Clara Barton sign a few times but neglected to stop for a visit.

Claudette, Thanks for visiting. I'm awaiting photos from the Furtados to update this entry which I expect will arrive by week's end. j.
