This is a shot of the peninsula and the bench we keep over there. There are cranberries over behind the bench which we hand pick. Loads of princess pine covers the ground as well. We have flags hung along the road on the trees.
This is a gorgeous down the pond sight. These two trees are a glorious red.
Looks like this bird ignored the sign we have posted.
This is a great shot across the cove to our day cabin on our little island.
A couple of pictures of our peninsula from different angles.
A nice view down the pond from our island.
The road leading home...year round house on the right and the pond, island, and day cabin on the left...
A great old rock with moss growing in the cracks.
A quiet look at the pond.
A curve in the road with loads of ferns on the shoulders.
The sky's reflection made the leaves colors even more brilliant.
We call these the wedding trees. This is where we got married. We stood between these trees with our family and friends around and made our vows. Later we had a clambake and a live country western band...it was a great day. Kids swam and rowed the boats around....everyone dressed casually...no fuss...
Simply beautiful!
The dock to the cove.
Path at the far end of the island that leads to the wedding trees....
An old fish sign we found and hung on the day cabin...the name of our island is The Isle of Capri hence the sign that hangs under the fish....
A quiet spot to sit on the island....
Old cement steps to the cove and another spot to sit and contemplate life.....
Resident elf...this guy watches over things from a high spot on the island...
We are so fortunate to live in New England...the changing seasons provide us with so many beautiful things to see and experience each and every day....

I planted a few mums and flowering cabbage just to give a fall touch to the garden.
Pretty mum in an antique granite urn...there is a matching one on the other side of the bench. You can see that the oriental lilies are fading...I cut it back about 1/3 in August and soon I will cut it back more...
Look at these acorns...they are thick this year...we haven't had this many in years...sure makes the squirrels happy.
Another shot of the acorns...
Some cabbage and mini pumpkins mixed with the boxwood in the old cement urns....
The lily of the valley has gone to seed around the old oak tree...I never planted these flowers...they found their way here a few years ago and completely surrounded the base of the oak and look lovely as if planned to be there.
Wonderful toad lily plant...these are marvelous fall "gifts"...just when all else is going to sleep these flowers pop out...orchid like flowers line the branches and are a treat to look at.
Closer look at the toad lilies.
