I went out yesterday intent on photographing some Fall color here in New England – as well as some Halloween decorations. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperating as well as it could have – it was very stormy but I made it to Essex (on the Connecticut River) and got some shots of some of their doorways and houses.
The cottage above is one of my favorite homes in the area – an antique probably built in the 1800’s it really looks like a mini English estate to me. Yet it’s located right towards the foot of Main Street in Essex. Love the hedges and the large elaborate bird house.
The house below demonstrates how you can indeed decorate for Fall all in white! Love the white pumpkins flanked by white chrysanthemums.
My camera isn’t the best for taking scenery unfortunately, but I thought this shot (above) came out pretty well. It’s the tracks for the Essex Steam Train.

very inspiring look at these doors, especially like the house with the witch and kale.
What lovely pictures! Makes me want to go out & take pics in my neighbourhood. And the weather is a perfect compliment to the Autumn season, beautiful.

These are lovely pictures – just lovely.
The center chimney colonial with the birdhouse in front was built by one Noah Tooker in 1733, one of the oldest houses in Essex. It is as charming inside as out. My wife and I bought it last year and absoulutly love it.
wow – I’ve always admired that house and make a point of walking by it when I’m in the area – it’s just delightful! Would love to see any interior shots you might have – I’m sure they would be lovely.
Gorgeous!
