Scenes from an autumn weekend
This weekend was our annual getaway to Ithaca for the Apple Harvest Festival, which we then supplemented yesterday with a trip to Letchworth State Park. Photographic goodness abounds! (New thrifted shirt–flannel with banded collar! Hooray!) (We couldn’t really get to … Continue reading
Dispatches from Warwickshire
