On Halloween Eve!

357/365
You wouldn't believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.

Just a pretty fall picture today. Thinking of my little ghosts and goblins back home carving pumpkins while gathering sweet morsels for general distribution! 
Think they call that Trick or Treat, if I remember correctly. 
The excitement builds as I know not know what their costumes be??? 
Happy Halloween my sweet Grand-babies, please send Grandma lots of scary pictures tomorrow! 
Have a wonderful and sugar filled day! 

Thoughts Of Fall!

Fall
"How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky
The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled!"
~Thomas Hood~
Going thru some of my photos I came upon this lovely scene. I took this photo several weeks ago, loved the angle and view thru the porch. Captured at Westport Point, a very well established historic area of town. 
The day was a bit overcast with a fall like briskness in the air. I converted the photo to black and white, adding Kim Klassen's textures, Cracker Jack at soft light 67%, along with Autumn Burst, soft light at 72%. 
A pretty simple photoshop recipe for that impending kind of fall look. Needing a jacket this week as temperatures will drop to the low sixties. Falling leaves and cooler temps a sure sign of a new season to follow. Pouring today, off to breakfast with some friends, umbrella in tow.
