A bright, sunshiny day

November 8, 2009 by Rayna Diane Hennen

I was waiting at the train station in Woodside for the second cutest girl in the world. Second? So who is first? Well, according to my father I am and far be it from me to argue with my father.  🙂 And, were her father available to call and say, hey, who is the cutest girl in the world, he would undoubtedly say, you needed to ask?

SO, Back to standing at the train station on an absolutely beautiful November Sunday watching the crowds go by.

A young girl in flat knee high suede purple boots that clearly made her feel like an adult.

A woman in tie-dyed stockings with bright purple sneakers.

A curious baby on a father’s shoulder taking everything in with big brown eyes.

A woman with verrry bright neon pink-orange (porange? orink?) sneakers. 3 good friends laughing and drinking coffee.

When all of the ill of the world appear on the pages of our daily physical and virtual newspapers it is a comfort to know that somehow normal life goes on. People find a way to continue to laugh and love and enjoy the sunshine on a particularly warm fall day. And I was among them. Sweet!

The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down after a summer full of blooms but I truly love little bits of decay as things start to break down.

There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake State Campground. The campsites are all tucked into the actual shape of the land instead of rows of campsites next to each other.

If you get up early-ish, the fog sits on the lake (second image) and creates some dreamy but sort of eerie images.

Welcome to September! Can you believe this: In t Welcome to September! 

Can you believe this: In the year 1752, the British Empire skipped 11 days of September, between the 2nd and 14th. 😄  It was due to changing the calendar to a new system but yeah, who needs those days!

Also, September 17th, 1787 was the day that the US Constitution was adopted. 📜 💜
