Walrus?


Halloween was great. This guy really knew how to play a walrus, his costume was inspired by Lewis Carroll's poem The Walrus and the Carpenter.

Connecticut

Mark Twain's house or at least the home he had built in Hartford, CT. The tour guide said he wrote Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn here. It is a beautiful ostentatious home.


CT capitol building was also very beautiful. I like the gold Dome.

Fall is in the air..



Taken on a hike through the woods at Cox Arboreteum.


Brain fruit (Osage-orange or hedge apple ) are very prominent in Ohio although they are native to Texas and Oklahoma. I have read that they aren't good to eat but they do deter many bugs including spiders!


I took a wrong turn and got a little of the beaten track and ended up in someone's side yard. I think the legs are a nice touch eh?

Fall leaf and looking ahead

These images were also taken at Pyramid hill however I picked them special to represent my daily photos of today.


The light at the end of the tunnel? Or maybe a rabbit hole to a Wonderland? Taken looking up from inside a stone building where the only light sources were the front entrance and this.


A fall leaf. I took a long time trying to capture this leaf perfectly. It represents life with its green fading to red and then to brown and crumbling death. It isn't often you see all three aspects in one leaf.

Fun with Sculptures

A bit picture intensive today but only because I couldn't pick just one! Myself and a friend went to Pyramid hill
