Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Self portrait after a haircut. Lovely cool, sunny day in NY State. Having lunch outside at ‘The Patio’ in Briarcliff Manor. The plan is to walk the 45 minutes back to the house (done), have a short break and then take Harley out for a walk (done – walked for about one hour).
I took this self-portrait because I’m seldom in any pictures. I’m usually the other side of the camera.

Although most of the trees are still showing mostly green leaves, some of them have already changed.

I guess Hallowe’en is just around the corner. This picture was taken from Sleepy Hollow Road. For any of my non-American friends who might not get the reference – possibly the most famous American Hallowe’en story is that of Ichabod Crane, his ill fated romance with Katrina Van Tassel and his encounter with with the headless horseman as described in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. It’s a great read. Sleepy Hollow is the next town to mine and I’m often found walking in the nearby woods or in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery/The Old Dutch Burial Ground.

This moth flew into my bedroom and very obligingly landed on a lamp shade next to my bed. Even more obligingly it stayed for a while allowing me to get my camera and take a few pictures.

Actually no, I’m not in the woods at all. Both of these pictures were take by the roadside just opposite my house.
