It was the pumpkin wagons that pulled me in. I just couldn’t resist the look of wooden wagons loaded with pumpkins.
Mark said we brought our children here a few times. And although I remember many years of visiting pumpkin festivals and pumpkin farms, I don’t have a clear memory of this exact place.
In the past we focused all our efforts on finding the perfect pumpkins, sometimes out in a field where they dotted the land from their decaying vines.
Yesterday I focused on the vibrant colors. All the colorful mums, variegated gourds, and bright orange pumpkins saturated my vision—it was like when Dorothy stepped into Oz.
This particular farm does a top-notch job with displays that draw casual passers-by in, like ourselves.
Actually, we stopped here briefly the day before for some apples on our way home from the Fernald Preserve (more on this later). I was tired from shooting a lot of photos and didn’t even get out of the car, but the loaded wagons of pumpkins called me back.
So we brought Arthur this time, who thought he had died and gone to heaven.
Nature’s bounty is amazing. The small pumpkins and gourds fascinate me.
In addition to more apples, we left with a trunk full of mums and pumpkins. How could we resist?
These are some great photos for the fall season.
When we drove by there the first day, I thought the place just cried out to be photographed. Thanks, Arlee.
Great Pics!
Thanks, LeRoy. I just went through all my subscriptions on Google Reader and didn’t see yours. I’m going to have to check into that. Thanks for stopping by.
What beautiful photos — and I can see why you wanted to go in! Gorgeous displays!
Great pics! I’m sure Arthur was in sensory overload going to a place like that….
I think Arthur was clearly in the spirit of the changing season.
I just love the fall. Do you get a very long fall up there in Maine? Our son was up at Acadia over the last weekend. I think it may have rained most of the time.
I love photographing pumpkins. They are such a challenge … especially in really bright sunlight. I love them. You do great stuff.
I’m not even of the caliber of photographers that knows if I’ve taken a good picture of a pumpkin or not. But I sure have fun doing it.
Beautiful Fall…Don’t you just love this time of year?!
I do love this time of year. I was just wondering the other day if I like fall better than spring. I think in the fall I do, but when spring comes around, it takes my number one spot. I actually love all the seasons, with the possible exception of summer. Summer is just okay in my book. I don’t like the heat and the drying out.
Wow, that’s a lot of pumpkins. You’re right–Arthur looks like he’s in his glory. Isn’t it funny how dogs like to go along!!!!! What a cutie.
Hugs,
Kathy
He’s getting more adamant about being included. He used to just stand in the hallway when we were getting ready to go someplace, now he gets as close to the door as he can. One day he absolutely did not want to be left behind and he got in the corner between where the door opened and the wall. I couldn’t get out the door without him.
Christine, thanks for commenting over on my blog, so that I could find you. 🙂 I really enjoyed this post! Scenes of mums and pumpkins and shocks of corn just make me smile!
I always love the visits to produce farms in the early fall. Thanks for stopping by.
You’ve taken some great shots of nicely arranged fixtures of fall. It looks like they had a photographer’s lens in mind when they “decorated” with this wonderful bounty. It’s good to see Arthur again, I’ll bet he was one happy pup.
I had that same thought when I was there. Easy work. I think it also helps attract customers.
ahhhhh, Autumn! So beautiful, these pictures!
Thanks. I love this time of year.
Don’t you just love how warm and cozy the color orange is this time of year!!
There’s something really special about the yellows, golds, and oranges. I agree.
Oh, these are glorious shots . . . full of Autumn splendor. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Do you have any sense of autumn down there? How about pumpkins stacked in wagons?
As fall arrives, the island wakes up . . . art festivals and music festivals and other outdoor activities kick into high gear.
That’s kind of a fun way to think about the change of seasons.
Wonderful autumn images. I love all the color. 🙂
