Hi Everyone!
Not far from where I live, there's this gorgeous pond. :)
.JPG)
It's sits in the town of Cold Spring Harbor, NY, tucked away behind St. John's, a very old church.
It's the perfect place to visit when you just want to sit for a little while, and enjoy a bit of a lovely day.
The view is so beautiful, like a scene from a Currier & Ives Postcard.
I visit this pretty pond often, and unbelievably, I'm usually the only one there
... except for a bunch of birdies who are always very happy to share my snack!
The leaves are brilliant this year, showing off their finest colors.
I just love October!
I hope you're enjoying this last October day!
....Happy Halloween!!!
xo Paulette :)
Gosh, thank you for this beautiful post. I love the autumn leaves, every single year I am just in awe of nature's colours! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful autumn colours! Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pics Paulette, thank you so much, I am very happy to share your special place with you! I can feel the quiet peaceful energies!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs, Joy xo
Looks like a lovely place to visit! Happy Halloween to you as well. The wind is howling here and we are losing all our pretty leaves.
ReplyDeleteHi Paulette, The fall colors are beautiful. We ended our month with stormy weather. It rained until late this afternoon and stayed in the 40's. Your pin was so pretty that you made for Vicki. There is that nasty word cancer that pops up its ugly head. I just hope some day we find a cure for it so that we don't lose so many. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, thank you for sharing your get-a-way.
ReplyDeleteThat pond is very Thoreau-ish...beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful place! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you lived in NY. I grew up there. I'm from Dutchess County.
ReplyDeleteLove place to visit, do you take your stitching?
ReplyDeleteI love this time of the year too.its such a time for seeing fantastic scenery.The church and the pond are just beautiful.Have a lovely weekend, hope your sons birthday was good x
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning pictures... the colours are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThe scenery pictures are very pretty and so different from where I live, which is a subtropical climate with lots of palm trees. I even have a banana tree in my back yard. You did a great job making the bats too. The bats are plentiful at my house at dusk and through the night. They are noisy both with the sounds they make and the flapping of their wings. They are called flying foxes here though. xx debbie
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of the trees. It is the same here but not so crisp and clear - a bit more murky. Great pumpkins. Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along on this outing. I love October too. November isn't bad either :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs!
you actually made me miss L.I.!!! gorgeous pictures. i LOVE october too. now that we're into november... i'll be hibernating. hopefully in the spring i can sell my house and rent a smaller one. fingers crossed! all else is good.
ReplyDeletehugs sunshine! :)
This is certainly a gorgeous place. The color in your area is amazing. I think the past two days of heavy rain probably brought down a lot of our colorful leaves. I won't know til it gets light.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Halloween!
xx, Carol
gorgeous photos-thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteStunning, gorgeous, it doesn't get any better than that. I have to travel about 2 hours to see that with our pines, aspens and sycamores, but it's worth it. Lucky, lucky you. I'd be there all the time, too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meri
Gosh Paulette, you live in such a beautiful place. I should love to sit awhile beside that pond. How nice too that it remains quite undiscovered.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy halloween to you too my friend, just loved your bats!!!

The colors have been spectacular this fall. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the October, and I agree with L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables days word of October , so nice you live and so fine Photos.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice Halloween and Weekend
Hugs Ingvor
Lovely photos Paulette. I do believe the Fall colors have been far more intense this year than I have ever seen before. They almost have a neon glow to them while the sun is shining. Your own private pond looks gorgeous and very relaxing. I can see why you like to enjoy it. October came and went in quite a hurry. On to November and so much to be grateful for. Blessings Dear...
ReplyDeleteLooks so peaceful and lovely! ♥
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. Aren't you lucky to have such a fabulous place to visit?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful shots! October is my favorite month. I love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's only 31 days :-/
Not looking forward to what November could bring.....you now, that 4 letter word!!
Have an absolutely crisp weekend!

As I was driving home today I happened to think about how boring this part of Ohio is, the corn and soy bean fields are slowly being harvested and the ones that remain are wet from yesterdays rain. The wind has done a real number on the trees and they are about half gone with their lovely color. Your scenery is awesome. A person could look at that all day and not tire of it. Lovely photos.
ReplyDelete(((HUGS))) Susanne :)
What beautiful pictures! We have mostly pine trees on our farm, but we do get to see a little bit of color change. I think it's time to take a drive a few hours north to Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteDear Paulette, I don't know where to begin... I just wanted you to know how much better my day is after visiting you here on your blog. My eyes can't take in all the beauty and talent...all of this from one person! You inspire people you will never know or meet. So I just wanted you to know that You make a difference in my world. You make my crafting heart smile. Thank you, ~Diane~
ReplyDeleteOMG Diane, You made my heart smile this morning too! Thank you so much for all your very sweet, very kind words. :) Hugs xoxo
DeleteBeautiful photos Paulette.... if you want to frolic in the some snow....c'mon over anytime!
ReplyDeleteDear Paulette,

ReplyDeleteCarissima Paulette sigo voce a tempos, ADORO TEUS CORAÇÕES, são verdadeiramente STUPENDI tanto quanto esta maravilhosa vista que vc fotografou e tem a sorte de ver ao vivo, o Outono me faz lembrar com muito carinho e saudades a terra onde nasci Italia, moro no Brasil que tem um clima tropical e tudo é muito diferente, lindo tambem, mas as lembranças de nossa infancia são muito especiais.
ReplyDeleteObrigada por compartilhar este teu Paraiso.
Abraço
Dear Paulette follow you at times, I LOVE YOUR HEARTS, are truly wonderful as this view that you photographed and is lucky enough to see live, Fall reminds me dearly and miss Italia land where I was born, I live in Brazil has a tropical climate and everything is very different, too beautiful, but the memories of our childhood are very special.
