Summer/Autumn

I loved the big reflection in this puddle. Below, the moon rises over the Prudential Tower and the Mass Pike.
Butterflies in our neighborhood garden park.
These photos were taken on October 9, Sunday of Columbus Day weekend. I'd wanted to take a trip somewhere, make use of the three-day weekend, but the weather ended up being so incredible, I'm glad we didn't miss it. We had a very long-lasting summer this year, and this weekend was in the 80s. The weather was absolutely perfect. Greg and I took camping chairs, bagels, and books to the park around the corner and read for a couple of hours. It was wonderful. The birds were chirping, the air was soft on our skin, and there were even butterflies and bumblebees flitting about.
Billy did very well at his annual exam.
The Fourth Annual Pumpkin Carving and Cider Sipping at work went great this year. (My kitty bat is on the far right.)

Fryeburg, Maine

Greg and I went to the family lake cabin of our friend Mike. Above is an apple press at a cider mill. Below is the view from the cabin.
The rest of the photos are here. It was a beautiful weekend, and we hope to go back next year.

Slide, Beach, and Bee

The Big E is the Eastern States Exposition, the big state fair 'round these parts. Here we are on the giant slide.

Flying All Around - In Small Planes!

I bought Greg a biplane ride in Gilroy, NH. It's two hours north of Boston by car, but our friend Dave offered to fly us. Here are the photos.
