It finally feels like fall around here..
this morning we woke to an almost frost..
The light is golden…
The delicious scent of woodsmoke
rising from the neighbors chimney fills the air.
My grandfather was a commercial photographer
with a studio in NYC.
He died when I was in my early twenties…
before I discovered the joy I would find in photography.
I have not forgotten to look for the color, Grandpa Al.
In all things.
Oh I want to breathe it all in! The smoke, the chill, the horse- love all of it! And Grandpa Al is no doubt very proud of the way you capture life through your lens!
I like the photo of the wagon with the pumpkins and fog. Very nice. My grandpa trained horses and my grandma went everywhere with her Brownie camera. And here I am with a love of horses and photography. It's in the genes, I tell ya.
You seem to have inherited your Grandfather's skills. Your pictures are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Every single one of your photos.
Grandpa Al would be proud of ye. A gal who is good at all that she undertakes in life. 🙂
So beauti-fall (hehe) – all of them!! And yes, I agree the light in the fall is heavenly!!
I think your Grandpa is right there with you Karen, beautiful images! And just so you know, if you wake up one morning and your buckboard is missing, along with some bittersweet, please know that is wasn't me! 😉
Kat 🙂
So many pretty things to photograph in your world, Karen. The early morning light was perfect for your somewhat smokey captures. The photo with the wagon and pumpkins is my favorite. 🙂
really lovely. the buckboard shot is fabulous!
Wow, creativity certainly runs in your family! xo
Your grandfather certainly passed on his photographic talents to you. I love your pictures, especially the one of the wagon in the mist with the splash of orange pumpkins.
You are definitely Grandpa's Girl! I feel like I am right there in your yard! Beautiful!
Sitting here in Texas,with no sign of what we call fall,I could actually smell the woodstoves and feel the crisp air. Great. And that photo of the buggy with the smoke…thats a keeper.
Definitely felt like Fall this morning…great photos…I miss my woodstove!!! We're on the hunt for a new one. Love that woodsmoke smell too!
Oh your photos are gorgeous as always. So atmospheric. That wagon with the pumpkins and the smoke. Very Halloweeny 😉 And the colours of the leafs. Stunning Karen! I'm sure you're late grandfather is looking over your shoulder and very proud.
Karen, the images are gorgeous! Grandpa Al would be so proud.
Beautiful phots as usual. Now I know it's something you inherited.
Lucky you! you have bittersweet. We do too, if the Blacksmith could just remember where it was in the woods that he saw it! MEN
Beautiful pictures, Karen. I LOVE the header picture you have up.
It is cold even down here (for this time of year) and I hear "up there" might even get a dusting of snow Thursday, and even more of a chance Saturday!
Even down here I am thinking I will pull the last of my winter squash up and get them in, and dig the the last of the potatoes..and call it a season. (I still have lettuce in pots on the deck) are you ready for it? Winter that is..kind of early isn't it?
beautiful photos, Karen, and we've had frost, several times, it's *Autumn*! I'm loving it; this time of year is fabulous.
you have captured my favorite time of year beautifully! your photography is gorgeous and i am sure your grandfather is proud that his passion continues on through you! xo, mickey
A beautiful Fall sangria-I can just imagine it on a porch looking at the color. Perfect
I added your blog to my blog-a while ago..(but haven't gotten around to mention it until now!) Any blog with Pasta in the name HAS to be good!
Gee Karen.must be a Blogger glitch…this last post was to another blog! I do not know why it showed up here!
Your granddad would be proud.
No wonder you have the talent, it's in your blood! We are in for a good frost this week with temps dropping Wed. and Thurs. About normal for us.
Don't you wish you could tell him that you're carrying on his legacy? Maybe he knows??
Beautiful shots as usual!!
You have beautifully captured the colors and feel of autumn in these photos Karen! Your grandpa would be proud!
Beautiful photos! I believe you learned something from your Grandpa… he would be very proud!
I LOVE your photography, Karen! You truly capture the extraordinary in the ordinary! That's when photography becomes ART! I don't have the gift, but I wish I did! Thanks for sharing your gift with us!
