Breakneck Hill cows in autumn

October 29, 2009 04:15:24 PM

Earlier this week I went to the Breakneck Hill Conservation Land to visit the cows. And what friendly cows they are! Many came right over to the fence to say hello. Lucky for me, they’re not camera shy either.

The Sudbury Reservoir positively glows with fall colors this time of year, which makes this moody twilight shot all the more intriguing.

Further afield: Where I’ve been this week

October 8, 2009 05:13:41 PM

I mentioned that I was traveling this week. Here’s where I was:
Southborough is home, but Seattle is a close second.
I don’t mind the gray and rainy, but I didn’t have to deal with much of that on this trip. And when Seattle is sunny, it’s one of the most beautiful places around.

September 18, 2009 03:58:26 PM

I stopped by Gulbankian’s (map) the other day to buy some mums for my front step. It was sunny, the air was cool, and everything had a decidedly autumnal feel. Carolyn Gulbankian told me their pumpkins, gourds, and bales of hay had just arrived earlier that day.
