New England Fall Photography

I'm posting photos my husband has taken Falls past.  I'm off to New Orleans tomorrow morning to spend four days with five girlfriends with whom I grew up.  We're celebrating our mutual 60th birthdays in The Big Easy.

Hi! C.G...
First Of all, Happy Birthday! to you and your husband respectively...
...Secondly, The photographs that your husband has taken are all very beautiful.
Thirdly,
I must say that all Of his photographs can easily be mistaken for paintings.[Especially, the 1st and last photographs.]
Finally,
Thanks, for sharing and I hope that you have fun in "The Big Easy"
too!

Marguerite: I didn't have a Hurricane this time but I did have quite a few Sazeracs, not all in one night. Love those Sazeracs!

DeeDee: your comment will be sent straight to the spousal photographer. He'll eat it up!

Grandmother: from your lips...I actually "turn" in a couple more weeks. I'm the baby of the group which still irritates all of them he he.

DT: thank you dear. I'll pass your compliments along to my hubby.

Mermaid: TOO LATE! :)

Betsy: WAY. Yes, we love Fall in New England. It's probably the biggest reason people live here.

Baino: Happy Birthday to you Helen. You're now what is called "Double Nickels" bwahahaha!

Nancy said...

What a wonderful treat. Thank you. Have fun!

Ruth said...

Congratulations to Cole on these scrumptious photos! I can't get my mind off New England these days, wishing I was there (but MI is beautiful too).

Happy Birthday. I hope you had a blast, and what happens in N.O. stays in N.O., right?

California Girl said...

Nancy: Thanks, we did!

Ruth: Well, as for it "staying in NOLA", there isn't much to tell. I'm debating a photo post on this blog. Meanwhile, you'll get an overview of the trip, just from my emotional POV, on "Women of A Certain Age".

Tanna said...

So glad you had this celebratory trip with your friends!! New Orleans is a great place to kick back and just enjoy the moment. Happy Birthday (in a bit, if I recall).

As for blogging... time, baby! Time! Seems I'm always out of it!! LOL!

Cole's photos are amazing!! I'm hitting the friendly skies for Buffalo tomorrow and then on to VA. Hope to see some beautiful foliage on my adventures.

Take care and again, Happy Birthday!! blessings ~ tanna

Pat: Ya gotta PAY ATTENTION!

Your hubby's photos are beautiful, especially the last two. There must not have been a puff of wind on that reflection shot.

I went to NOLA with my entire book club about four years ago. It's a great town for a girlfriend getaway. I bet y'all had a great birthday celebration. Happy birthday!

Tomás Serrano said...

The first shot is on the top! A master piece. Congrats! The rest is a wonderful collection. ¡Geniales!

California Girl said...

DBaby: NOLA was a blast. I keep meaning to write more about the trip for this blog, showing lots of photos. My other blog keeps me busy tho' I did write a reflective piece on it about how we all acted after 45+ yrs of knowing one another.
