Hi Everyone,
I hope all of you are well and enjoying life.
Mom has been back in the hospital again and was transferred back into a nursing home/rehab place again tonight. It has meant long hours of driving back and forth, and by the time I get home, I just want to relax and play without having to think!
Yesterday and today, we managed to make some time to get out and take pictures of some of the beautiful scenes that surround us. I had promised to share a little bit of autumn with you, and this is a particularly magnificent autumn here, so I'm happy to share these pictures with you. The leaf colors are now at peak for leaf peeping, so I hope you enjoy these images. I've included a few more than usual, because who knows when I'll be able to post again?! I'm not exactly reliable these days. ;-)
Mr. Sandpiper is on vacation this week and we had planned to go away, but with Mom being hospitalized, we've had to postpone things. We are hoping to get away sometime this coming week, for a couple of days, once my sister returns from her vacation. Timing is everything, isn't it? If we go away, I might have some more pictures to share with you soon, provided that the situation allows me the time to do it.
These pictures are all taken very close to where I live in a variety of locations. As always, you can click the pix to see them larger.
Okay, I guess I'll see you when I see you... it's the best I can do for now. In the meantime, I miss you all.

Oh wow...Such lovely colors! I particularly like the one with the red house in it, although they're all beautiful.
Wishing you & your mom well. *hug*
Ooo, you get such beautiful reds out there!! That's one colour we don't get to enjoy much of ~ except we happen to have 4 trees around that provide us with plenty of red and orange!
All our leaves are down now and tonight, we're actually getting our first freezing rain. Winter's really on its way up here already. Sigh.
Glad to hear your mom's well and I hope she'll continue to improve.
Beautiful photos of our gorgeous - and more so than usual - autumn. Hope your life returns to "normal" (whatever that is) soon.
colorful! thanks for sharing
I love the photo with the house surrounded by the trees. I could live there quite happily and never leave.
excellent photography, great landscapes and close ups and fantastic color compositions
Absolutely beautiful fall color Lin. So sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she does well at the rehab center. Wishing you peace...
Lin: What a neat set of shots showing Fall in it's finest. What a colorful show. I sure hope Mom will get through these problems.
Sorry that your mom's not doing well. Hopefully, just a short term thing. Glad to see that you made time to be out in nature...it's the best way to take care of yourself.
Linn, these are wonderful! I love the way you add a barn, or silo or house or fence and not just the leaves. It gives such a feel for what the whole area looks like. I like that windmill! I'm sorry your mom has been worse and I keep both of you on my prayer list. I hope you get those few days away soon. We've learned that even a short vacation is wonderful, just because it is "away" somewhere! Here's a hug...take care and keep looking around you at the beauty...it will help nurse your spirit.
Thank you!! I absolutely love autumn, and the feast of color. These were gorgeous!
Gorgeous images. I hope to capture some of the colors of this season this weekend especially. I love the beauty of this time of year.
Absolutely stunning Lin!!
Once again I am glad I'm not in a position to have to choose a favorite,that would be impossible.Each picture is beautiful in it's own way.
Sorry to hear that things are not going as well as could be,hope there will be improvement soon.I will be remembering you and your family in prayer.
Think I will be doing the same this weekend Lin, love autumn colours.
Nice post.
Connecticut is truly a beautiful place and a feast for the eyes with its pleasing colours of nature. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Photos,
Hope all goes well with your Mum and you get chance for a break
The colours!! I was lucky enough to be out east a couple of years ago in September, and while I certainly didn't get to see fall at its most colourful, I was in awe. Your photos do such a good job of capturing the look and feel of the area.
Hi Lin! I hope your mom is doing better.
You pictures are stunning. The autumn colors beautiful. The leaves are just starting to turn here.
Take care of you. Lisa
Wow - that's a symphony of colors! Outstanding!
Hang in there! And take a well deserved vacation!
Cheers, Klaus
Lin, I will be thinking of you in these hard days with your mother - e are in pretty much the same place, and it's a tough time. I will miss your posts, but will just come back and loo at these while you're gone - they are beautiful enough to look at every day.
Oh My Goodness! These are perfectly beautiful! I'm still looking for any sign of autumn around here so when I see these with those fall colors as far as the eye can see, it's breathtaking to me. Thank you so much for sharing these.
My prayers go up for you and your mom.
I see your autumn colors in Connecticut are just as spectaular as here in Maine.
Hi Lin, I have missed you. I hope you can look back on this post one day and have great memories of your Mom, your friends and your family, as they say pictures paint a thousand words. Debs xxx
Hi... how nice to see a post here of your usual, most beautiful photo contributions that you share with all. The coloured leaves are beautiful1! It is a most gorgeous time of year! Take car while things work out for you and your family.

So...very beautiful these Autumn in Connecticut images are!!! You are masterful at capturing these, Lin!
Best wishes and prayers for you, your mom and your hubby. Hope you do get away for a few days - to relax and regroup!
I miss you too...but these photos will do for a long time as they are wonderful...hope all goes well for you and you get some time to have a holiday. It is important to try to continue your life too through all the caretaking you do.
I'm a little late in visiting, but I can see your colors are like ours here in NY state. Isn't this a gorgeous Fall ?
Take care Lin, and hugs to you and all your family. Prayers coming for your Mom too.
Incredible colors! Fantastic photography!
sorry about your mom, lin :(
prayers and positive energies i speed her way
as always, your pics are marvelous!
blessings to you and yours....
I've always heard that the best place to view Autumn is in the North East - Very nice shots!!!
Thank you very much for taking time to show this beautiful potoes. I love them all. Hope your mom will get better and that you will have your holiday. Sending you many good thoughts and a hug:)
I miss the changing of the leaves. I grew up in Rhode Island so I'm very familiar with the New England area. Now that I live in Florida, I obviously don't have the opportunity to witness the yearly spectacle. Thanks for bringing back memories of raking big piles of leaves and then jumping in them. Feel good. Blessings!
Lin, these are so beautiful shots of fall, very nice! I loved the windmill, so pretty!
I hope everything will work out fine with your mother!
Beautiful hues and lovely scenery shots, Lin. This looks a very nice of the year.
Your photos keep me going! You and mom are in my good thoughts.
Fabulous, as usual. Enjoy the times you have and I wish the best for you and your Mom. I know it can wear you out.

Great photos! Is that a "bridal falls?" It seems like every state has a couple.
Oh...these are gorgeous. I've missed my visits here. I need to blogroll you so I see updates...
beautiful colors.
Love the fall colors.
What a beautiful photolog of a New England Autumn! I love the old weathered barn tucked into the tree covered hillside. So sorry to hear that your Mom is in the hospital again. I pray you have the strength needed to go through all of this and I wish her well.
Oh these pictures are so beautiful!
Autumn is indeed an amazing season for so many reasons, but especially for pictures as one cannot get enough of those vibrant colors!
Wishing you all the best!!!!
Stunning colours and photographs! Your area is at the same stage of autumn as Toronto is, with green foliage mixed with the maturing colours.
Best wishes for you and your mother's health. We can wait for photos, but you need to be with your mother at this time.
what a beautiful place you live in!
everyone has been posting their shots of colorful trees nowadays.
we'll continue to pray for your mom.
beautiful colours. Autumn is just arriving here but our colours are never that spectacular/
Your pictures are so very beautiful! Every one a gem.
Hope your mom does well, and that you get yourself some rest.
Beautiful colors and grat photos.
Hope you find time to relax and well wishes to your mom.
It's so lovely to visit you again. I've just had lots of fun looking at your lovely pictures. So sorry you are having such a busy time as a carer. Wishing you all well :)
Gorgeous, Lin! Especially enjoyed the windmill.
Best wishes to your mom. You are missed.
Oh, I almost forgot. I've given you some blog awards but I know your situation and there is no obligation!

Hiya!
Your pictures are all lovely! Love the colors... love the sceneries.
Thanks for sharing them...
Lovely photos! We don't get fall color here at all, so it's a treat to see them through your eyes!
Glad to see the color made it your way. We've already lost our leaves!
Oh wow these are gorgeous
Hi Lin. Connecticut is beautiful in Autumn! I only get to travel as often and as far as I have money for, and I've never made it anywhere in the Eastern US... So I live vicariously through your photos. I'm glad you shared them.
Linn...just wanted to say hello and that we miss you and hope your mom is doing better now.
Wow stunning fall photos. Enjoy your vacation. Anna :)
What absolute beauty you share with us! Such wonderful photography and amazing views!
Beautiful photos! Love the windmill fall one.. :)
Nice avatar! Nice pictures posted in your blog. Thanks for sharing!
