LOVIN FALL

Fall is by far my favorite time of year.  I LOVE the colors of New England.  This year has been a wonderful combination of Fall colors and almost Summer weather.  So much so that during a Fall day outing, David and I spent most of it at the beach!  During that day we saw many flowers & insects you wouldn't expect to see this time of year, especially those damn mosquitos!

   Soured grapes.

So warm that day the Monarch figured it was already in Mexico.

Do I need to say it?  Mums the word.  There.

I could have sat in these chairs all day.  

A Look Back

I was looking back on photographs I have taken over the last year.  Boy do I have a lot to post about!  So I will dig in with a sampling of a very joyous day last September.  I've known Eli since before he was born....can you do that?  He is the older of the two amazing sons of my LONGtime close friend Nan.  

Eli, all grown up now, got married to a sweet, spunky little lady named Venessa.  They met years ago as camp counselors and married each other lakeside at the campground chapel.   Their good humor, love of theatrics and their butterfly theme were major highlights of the day.

I began the day at Venessa's parents lovely cottage home near Long Island Sound.  Although it threatened rain throughout the day, we also had sunshine. 

No rain but plenty of umbrellas.

Debonair groom & groomsmen.

Eli loves his hat.  He managed to put it aside for the ceremony & photos.

May the best bestman win!

The cool temperature of the day kept the butterflies they released from flying away.  It made for some really magical photos.

Is this the sweetest little flowergirl face or what?

I loved how many heart shapes are in this photo just the way they are entwined.

I'd love to take some directing credit but these two are just naturals.

Did I mention that Eli was a lightweight?  Note the hat. ;)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ELI & VENESSA!
