Autumn in the Hamptons

Autumn is my very favorite season. Heat and humidity resign themselves to cool, crisp, dry breezes, and the medley of beautiful greens that define summer here in the Hamptons transform themselves in to brilliant yellows, reds and oranges. My three mile walk follows winding lanes and passes a wonderful horse farm. Generally I pass by early in the morning when the horses are most interested in eating so it's a challenge to get them to pay attention to me and my camera, but tenacious I am, and I seem to get a fairly good photo every tenth one or so.

This fall has been especially pleasant with temperatures remaining in the mid 50s, breezes instead of winds so the leaves have lingered on the trees longer than in other years, and we've only had one frost! I hope you enjoy this slide show which is a composite from several walks over the last three weeks. It's almost over, so we'll enjoy it while we can.

wow, great music and beautiful photos.
I loved the horse faces, especially the one looking up over the fence.

Ward!!!

Had to play that one twice for myself, and then again for Junior. You're amazing... Autumn is my favorite season too, and you captured every reason why in your pictures and music selection.

Nice job...

I can almost smell the fallen leaves and breath the crisp clean air. I never tire of your brilliant sideshows. Thanks!

Beautiful slideshow! It makes me long for Fall again now that we had our first snow storm of the season... I love the picture of the horse peeking over the wooden fence.
