Seven geese pierce straight line over frigid bay,
Intervals between them constantly
equal,
Pointed wings slash as if joined
to an axle:
Today is the ideal moment between yesterday and tomorrow.
Deng Ming~Dao
Every morning means a fresh start on things. If yesterday was trying and exhausting, today is a given opportunity to do something different. If yesterday was full of triumph and satisfaction, today is a free chance to go further.

Although I was not going to post until next week, I took the day off today to enjoy the fading colors of Autumn here in the mountains and I thought that you might enjoy a peek of life in my corner of the world this week :-)
Lovely. I enjoy seeing Fall color like this. Not something I can see in person here in Texas.

Beautiful pictures. I used to love the Hancock Shaker Museum. I find the sparseness and the clean look of everything so relaxing. (I haven't managed to imitate it in my own surroundings, but it's a goal....)
It has been fantastic fall weather here in Vermont, too, I just haven't posted my pictures. And yours are nicer anyway.

Beautiful! I love the Ming-Dao thoughts. So concise, so perfectly phrased, so on target.

Beautiful photos! The color is beginning to fade down here already too. Seems like it went so fast.

Hey! Where did you climb to get that last photo? It is gorgeous around here these days, although you must be getting past peak way up there! We are just about at peak here, and right now we are too busy to really enjoy it. I'm glad you got a chance to yesterday.

I am just so in love with New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. They are all such beautiful places. Thanks for sharing your great pictures.
