Hi and happy Tuesday! Hard to believe Thanksgiving is just two short days away! The most delicious day of the year is near…… I will be on a little hiatus for Thanksgiving….headed to my sisters beach house for Thanksgiving by the beach. It will be a first and I am looking forward, the stretchy pants are at the ready….
With the chaos of Hurricane Sandy, somehow this post got lost in the shuffle. I cannot in good consciousness usher out fall without a proper goodbye (it is after all my favorite season). In case you missed my post on a perfect fall day yesterday, click here to have a look! I started having fun taking pictures of the fall foliage at its peak or near peak both around here and in my travels. They were too pretty to not share and while I know that the last gloriously colored leaf has fallen, I want to say goodbye to fall with a tribute post to fall and all its glory. A short post (for me) but a pretty one especially if like me, you love fall! Enjoy…….
Around my neck of the woods fall fabulosity was on full display…….
A gorgeous lake near my home….so serene and tranquil
Our entrance……..
Driving out from our driveway….
A beautiful arboretum nearby…..
How gorgeous is this!
On way to Boston….
Amherst, Mass…..
I enjoyed watching my sons game as much as I did taking in the foliage around me…..
Fall and quaint northeastern towns go together like Oreos and milk, cheese and crusty bread, caramel and chocolate..you get the idea!
This tree was astounding in that it literally is like a crayon box with all of falls magnificent colors
The mountains from a distance looked like they were ablaze with their fiery orange colored trees…….
So goodbye fall. Thank you as always for inspiring me with your magnificence. Hey, any season that means no having to bare upper arms is a season I will continue to champion:) Wishing you a wonderful day as you are all busy busy busy getting ready for “the big feast”!
This post reminds me of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio.” The older I get, the more I long to hold tight to every season and every loved one! Happy Thanksgiving, Tina!
Tina the entrance to your home and the surrounding area is gorgeous! Our trees have been bare for a while now and the oaks finished off quickly thanks to Sandy. Now we have frost gracing us each morning with its fanciful design on everything. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy the break from blogland.
Oh sweet Tina, there is nothing like the northeast in autumn! My home…..but here in Minneapolis, it is just as good. Wishing you a marvelous day! Anita
Beautiful photos, Tina; you’ve really captured the magic of fall. I think you must be in my old ‘neck of the woods’ – I grew up in Locust Valley and believe I recognize the entrance to Planting Fields. Enjoy your Thanksgiving by the beach. I am a little envious; mornings here have become quite frosty! xo, Phyllis
Love fall in the northeast. Agree nothing quite like it. We used to live right outside Boston until we moved to Maryland. I do miss fall up there. I love your pictures, the foliage is spectacular. And Tina around your home, is so beautiful, so many trees! Love the driveway shot and the charming town shots. All lovely and have to agree, there really is something special about fall. But I am very excited about Christmas too! Enjoy your break at your sisters and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family (and Teddy).
Hi i am reader and admirer “from afar” I don’t comment often but this one bears commenting. Just so beautiful. Your pictures are breathtaking. I love the foliage, we don’t get much here, a little too warm but this makes me want to be sure I head northeast next fall. Thank you for taking these glorious pictures and I enjoy your writing as well, you are very talented. Happy Thanksgiving, wishing you many blessings of the season
Vivid colors of fall foliage, down here in the Louisiana swamps, last only a few minutes so how wonderful to enjoy them vicariously through your lovely photos. Thank you for sharing and Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Tina – Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos!! This hasn’t been the greatest fall around here (as you well know yourself) and as much as I love the crisp fall weather and changing leaves, I am ready to keep moving right past winter and into the spring. My husband who is older and wiser than I am says to enjoy every day and not wish for time to move faster, but I am NOT a winter person! Enjoy your Thanksgiving at the beach! xoxoxoxo
Tina, I’m so glad you shared this farewell to fall with us, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I, too, am sad to say goodbye to this glorious season. The lovely colors, the crisp feel of fall air, the pumpkins, the leaves! I’m looking forward to Christmas and all the beauty in brings, but fall is lovely and relaxed and I’m sad to see it go! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving at the beach! XOXO
The northeast is so beautiful. I remember visiting Vermont when I was younger and calling the tree covered mountains “fruity pebbles” in the fall. Thankfully we get a little color down here in North Texas.
There is nothing better than those small little towns in the northeast. Wonderful farewell to the season.. your pictures are beautiful Tina. Sounds like you have a perfect weekend planned {stretchy pants included.. me too!!} Happy Thanksgiving!
Tina, your stunning images confirm why I love fall so so much! Those leaves and the quaint town scenes are the reason fall feels cozy! Beautiful post… and a lovely send off to my favorite season! You home looks so beautiful decked out in fall splendor!!!
Oh my gosh, such gorgeous images, Tina! Headed over to see yesterdays post. Hav ea little oral surgery and couldn’t see very well after the meds, lol. There just is no other season like fall. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Tina. Teresa xoxo
Lovely images of my favourite season. Is that a lacrosse game being played? in Autumn/fall? I thought it was only the British who played lacrosse in cold weather. My boys have played in the snow!
Tina, such beautiful photographs today! I miss watching college/high school sports in the fall. It was what made that time of the year even more special!! I wish you and your family a delicious Thanksgiving together. Enjoy.
Thank you for this lovely tribute, Tina. Fall is absolutely my favorite season too, so it is a bittersweet farewell to the season. But oh how I adore Christmas, so we have that to look forward to. You live in THE most glorious place. I”m moving next week from beautiful Colorado to perhaps not so beautiful Dallas, but it’s a temporary move until I get the details worked out for a year in Paris with my daughter. Thank you for bringing beauty into our lives.
What a beautiful post Tina! I love that area this time of year.. reminds me of our trips to NH to see Brookes! Just beautiful. You’re right, goodbye fall, hello winter! Ugh. I have on my calendar to “Prep House for Holidays” when I return from our trip to CA.. I can hardly believe that’s coming up so soon.. Have a great time at the beach house and take pics! I will certainly be taking lots of pics in Laguna Beach! Jan
Tina, I have missed you!!! I just have not been making my rounds. Hope you have a GREAT time at the beach. So glad the stretch pants are ready. However, I have a hunch you are thin thin thin and don’t really need the stretchy pants anyway. We are going to the beach too for Thanksgiving day this year to my brother in law and sister in law’s homes. Both of Dave’s siblings have each houses near one another.
You about killed me with envy with these GORGEOUS Autumn photos. I adore Fall but we don’t really have it here in Texas…so I miss it desperate;y )I grew up in PA) Thank you for sharing all that beauty.
Tina, I will forever think of you and Fall as linked!! Your photos are beautiful and so fun to see what is happening on the “other” side of the Sound!
Grant and I just came back from a couple of days in Mass. for our anniversary. Such picturesque towns….we went to the Norman Rockwell museum while we were in Stockbridge and it was understandable how he could create such amazing works of Americana as he was in the heart of it.
Enjoy the big feast — thank heavens for stretchy pants! I’m in mine today, as I seem to have gotten a head start on the holiday! Much love! Elizabeth
Your home and surroundings are picture perfect, as always. I can see why Fall is a favorite of yours with all of those amazing images. Thanksgiving at the beach sounds heavenly…hope to be doing that next year. Enjoy this special time with wonderful family!!
Happy Thanksgiving and have a very happy holiday and stretch pant filled days with your sister and family! I am sure that you will be in the kitchen whipping some of your delicious creations!
I always love coming here to visit and have seen many, many beautiful posts BUT this is my FAVORITE of them all. Fall is magical to me and I am in awe of the beautiful photos and post today! Thank you for squeezing this in!
Tina, Fall is my favorite time of year too and I SO get the no bare upper arms too!!! The pictures are glorious. Your home is in a beautiful setting. Believe me, after 29 years of raking, blowing, ACTUALLY plowing leaves I do NOT miss that one little bit! I love seeing them but am exstatic that I do not have to dea with them any more:) Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. XO, Pinky

Fall is one of my favorites too. There is nothing like it here in NJ. Beautiful pictures.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Besides your home, this is one of the most beautiful posts! Gosh, it’s everything I dream about in the changing season! I absolutely love it! xo

So, so gorgeous! You are right…this post had to be shared with us! Have a wonderful time at your sister’s house! Happy Thanksgiving, Tina!

Tina….so so beautiful. We haven’t seen Fall yet in California. All the trees are still green. Have Happy Thanksgiving!
The northeast is so beautiful. I remember visiting Vermont when I was younger and calling the tree covered mountains “fruity pebbles” in the fall. Thankfully we get a little color down here in North Texas.

Such gorgeous photos. Although it is a glorious season, with what we all endured on Long Island, it is time to say good bye.

Tina, my son Colin goes to school in Amherst~it is simply beautiful out in that part of Massachusetts and you have captured it nicely!
