For those who are not familiar with them, a meme, in this case, is a photo sharing game between bloggers, usually around a specific theme and posted weekly on a consistent day. I'm combining themes in one post: Sky Watch, Water Wednesday, Yard Art and My World. Most of these are international and it's always a blast to see other people's lives, their skies, their water and views.
At the end of the post, all the memes will be linked to their respective sites, should you choose to wander over and see for yourself the gorgeous photographs that people post from around the globe.
Below are some recent shots I took in my front yard in western Massachusetts, on a quiet street with lots of trees and mostly well-preserved houses built in the early 1950's. Our house is across the road from a clearing that shows off a panoramic view of the Connecticut River Valley. I'm not sure that I can ever completely leave this river valley home, despite the harsh winters.
Have a great weekend.
Peace and love,
Pagan Sphinx
The same view as above, but from a lot further back. We put up the plastic skeleton every year and the red object in the tree is a birdhouse we bought in Nova Scotia this summer.
And my mums and gourds to keep me company. ;-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful selection of autumnal colours
ReplyDeleteThat bird house is wonderful, it would almost be worth a trip to Nova Scotia just to get one.
ReplyDeleteYour valley is wonderful as well. I sometimes wish my ancestors hadn't moved west from there. But then, I probably wouldn't be me if they had stayed.
Your blog is a delight. It's good to stop by again after a night of Halloweening. Such a great time of year in New England!
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos. The first one is my favorite. Perfect framing!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You do not have to cut and past your link, because I have comment - luv, I will find your post. Thanks for the visit.
Hi, Ebie - thanks for the visit. I realized I did not have to cut and paste as soon as the comment published. :-)
ReplyDeleteSandy - I always feel the same way about my visits to your posts. As always, your visits are much enjoyed and appreciated. :-)
If I've forgotten anyone, please forgive. I am delighted to share with you and I try very hard to visit everyone who visits me. This week, I am especially far behind but trying to catch up.

It's only in fun, Chubs. You can walk through my neighborhood any time! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe mums, leaves, and mum blooms make for a wonderful fall picture. Love the skeleton, but the birdhouse from Nova Scotia is amazing. My husband and I would love to have one. If you still have the name or address of where you bought it, we would love to know. Your post is so festive with Halloween just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Love all of them. My favorite is the first one.
