September sunset

we've had some fantastic skies during the last week




^^^ detail of a photo when I accidentally jiggled the camera - reminds me of a textile pattern
(these photos were actually from the night before, I'm belated in posting them)

Coolest home video ever!

elsewhere in the yard during that same sunrise...
even the full moon stuck around to watch the show:


these photos are downloaded straight from my camera, nothing enhanced - but sometimes the sky's colors are too intense even for the camera!

This time of year always feels like Hopper

obey my cat

Cookie

sort of like an anti-rainbow

We got lucky with an unusually warm fall morning - high 80s yet very breezy

music to match the day

yesterday could not have felt more like the last day of summer; today could not look more like the first day of fall -
it's as if all the colors just changed overnight

southern end of Canandaigua Lake, usually viewed from a kayak:
(scroll down, you'll see those same cottages in other photos)


there are more spectacular sunsets over this lake,
but this was the night
I happened to be driving by
and happened to see the full moon
and happened to think it was beautiful

because fashion makes me happy

random stuff I came across during early morning visits to favorite fashion blogs...

gown created by TerraCycle - more than 1,800 flowers were individually cut and sewn from 600 Peanut M&M wrappers!


Hey! My favorite French fashion blogger also kayaks! Here she is at Friends Lake in the Adirondacks:

(most likely no one else would enjoy this - reminds me a little bit of .. American Beauty & Precious)

breathtaking moments of early fall
