The Waterfall of Ice

Well twp days ago we posted the photograph of the frozen River Vistula. But nothing compares to this shot...a frozen cascade of water!!! This is the old mill, taken through the window from the bar of Hotel 1231. The water is usually flowing freely but with the recent temperatures plummeting...has been frozen momentarily in time.

Pumpkin Time

The fall crop is in at the Southern Artery Garden Center.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Harvest Decor

It's a national holiday today and a good time to take a neighborhood walk and see some of the fall decorations like this one on Grandview Ave. Is that a type of turban squash?

I was enjoying the last of the fall foliage a couple days ago when I looked up and was treated to a flock of geese heading south out of Quincy.

I discovered this lush ivy in a local cemetery. Have a nice weekend everyone!

The Gazing Ball

This highly polished granite ball is tough to take your eyes off of with the glorious back drop at City Hall plaza. Today is an election day in Quincy and Mayor Koch is being challenged by his predecessor, Bill Phelan. Even the best fortune teller would not be able to gaze into this ball and predict the outcome of this election. Come back tomorrow for the results.

These maple tree leaves have got to be my favorite fall leaf variety. The leaves were spotted on top of a granite wall surrounding Mount Wollaston Cemetery.

Fall Plumes

These astilbes certainly make for a great splash of fall color in a front yard on Newport Avenue.

Pumpkins are definitely a visual cue that fall is upon us.

Mt. Wollaston Cemetery is a perfect place to see some of Quincy's best autumn tree specimens. The shape and varied colors caught my eye.

Nature is beginning to put on a show around Quincy. This is a parking lot at the Crown Colony Office Park. I love this time of year here.

This colorful bouquet at a farmers market helps get me ready for fall. Happy autumnal equinox everyone!

Fall festival

Sack races and hayrides . . .
Fall in the Boston area doesn't get much better than this unless you throw in "leaf peeping" like those gorgeous ones that Fenix posted.
