Hotel

Today I shopped while Joe was in meetings. We're not actually in DC yet, we're in Herndon, 25 miles away. Here are a few pictures of the hotel lobby. Friday the pics will get interesting, that's when we'll be in DC.

Up, Up and Away

We're in Washington DC for the next few days, today we spent the whole day flying and waiting in airports. The first photo shows Bell Island as we were leaving the airport home. The next photo is somewhere over the eastern United States and the last photo is over Newark, New Jersey. While we are away I'll be editing my photos on a laptop so the quality may not be that great.

Frost

For the past two mornings we've had a heavy frost. Winter is coming!

Blue Jay in the Rain

November

Whenever I write the word November I am reminded of the poem by Thomas Hood. And while this is only November 2nd I have to disagree with some of his words. The first photo was taken near Kent's Pond early this morning and the other two were taken in Pippy Park around noon.

No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!

Halloween

A house in the city has gone all out in decorating for Halloween. Along with this set-up there is a graveyard full of headstones, a skeleton bride and groom and lots of spiderwebs. It was even featured on the evening news tonight.

Hanging On

Leaves on one of the cherry trees in the back garden.

Rainy Day

Today was a dull day with lots of rain and wind. This is my back garden taken through the window. I did not go outside today.

Fence

This was taken in Logy Bay today.

Leaf

Lots of rain and wind means our deck is wet and has fallen leaves on it.

Downtown

Downtown on a chilly, windy day.

Rainbow

I saw 3 rainbows today, this one was at Cape Spear.

Bowring Park

Today was a nice day for a walk in the park. After the rain stopped there wasn't much wind and the fall colours were beautiful.

Rainy Street
