Turning the Corner

It was a beautiful day here yesterday. Our foliage is almost gone, but I love the spareness of the end of October and November.  I bought myself a new winter coat. I'm not really ready to think about needing one, but they wouldn't have my size if I waited much longer. So I drove to LL Bean and bought one.

On the way home I took a few photos.



This is the boat landing not far from my house.  There was a huge flock of Canada Geese on the mudflats, resting before embarking on the next leg of their journey south.  There was a symphony of honking, like they were all catching up with each other at the end of the day.

  The farm near us.  They have chicken and sheep, which are always fun to watch. 

I may not want to think about winter, but I did think about Christmas this week.  John got an email from the Portland Public Library asking if they could use one of his photos on their postcard announcing their annual holiday open house.  He said yes, so this will be the front of their card:
