Apple Picking Time
This time of year always reminds me of when Michael and Anne lived on the orchard out Route 145. Anne actually picked apples a couple seasons, and Michael and I had a darkroom set up in a spare room. Michael was apprenticed to a potter, Renzo Fagioli, who taught at Moravian, and Anne and I worked at the bookstore (along with Maggie, Ted, Vanessa and just about everyone else we knew). We ate Stamen apples. We shot Tri-X film. It was a simple time. I didn't see the storm gathering.

Is that a current picture or one from that time ?
That's just a stock photo from the Internet.
I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year. I love how the air starts to chill, but the sun is still warm, and I always feel a sense of excitment which probably stems from childhood days and the start of a new school year. But the impending start of short days and air too cold to sit outside makes me blue. But, you know me, I refuse to succumb to negativity. I just won't think about winter ... so there! Just call me Cleopatra, Queen of denial :-)
This is absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. If I could find the land of permanent autumn, I would definitely move there. Something about the crisp air, the autumn leaves. I Love it!
I'm with Meegs. No other season compares to autumn. Growing up on the shore, September meant goodbye to all the tourists and the beach to ourselves at its best. And all those giant oak trees dropping all those leaves and acorns. I have such fond memories of fall weather.
I find Fall a little sad. It means the end of summer,which I love, and soon it will be winter (sorry queen). And I never looked forward to the beginning of the school year, and I still have that feeling at this time of year,even now. The good thing is that Dockers and I like to walk in this weather...all the way up through Christmas.
Hey Ted,
I love your picture!
I've always been an equinox kind of person more than a solstice one. Vernal or autumnal – love’em both. ;-)
Like the Picture Ted.
