Thanksgiving weekend is upon us. Ladybug and partner will be arriving tonight. We'll be doing the big fixins tomorrow before heading off to Riverwood on Sunday for a few days, and after that we're expecting company back here in Mills. What I'm trying to say is that I may not be too active in this space for the next little while. I know that's a grievous pill for you to swallow, but there it is. :) Seriously though, you never know what time I'll either find or make between now and then, but I'll leave you with a few pics of Mills before I bid you a temporary but sweet farewell.
The first is off an out-of-the-way street that runs under a little railway bridge. In fact, a train had just gone by when I took this, but I was too late with the Canon Rebel. The old building in the background is now being used for a modern business, but I forget exactly what business at the moment.
The next two photos are both looking across the Mississippi from Riverside park. The first is a stand of birches, and the second shows a house. I have tried to frame both views with a tree and its branches. They both show that autumn is beginning to gallop apace. Last weekend, there was only a little colour, but, even early this week, we began to notice the acceleration. Overall, we're not at fifty per cent colour yet, but some stands are getting close.

A grievous pill to swallow, indeed! But, enjoy your Thanksgiving. We'll wait for you.
I looked at the pictures first (before I read the text that is) and thought; hey, nice framing! Then I read you talking about it.
I guess people who aren't interested in photography don't know what framing is, but you did a nice job using the trees in the foreground as a frame for your picture. Especially 'boring' landscapes can look much better with a frame this way! Keep up the good work!
I just love your photos. So you have a Canon Rebel.. I really, really want one of those :-). I am currently using a Canon PowerShot that is over 3 years old. I keep picking up and looking at the Rebel.
I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving.
It seems a little early to me, but Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice pictures. I enjoy them even though I knew nothing about photography and usually use a disposable camera!
Happy Thanksgiving! It does seem very early...
Happy Thanksgiving AC and all the family. Hope it's restful and you find lots to be thankful for.
I really miss the trees changing colors and I miss the Mississippi too. I grew up on that river, albeit a bit further south in Minnesota.
Our Thanksgiving is Nov 24th, and I am already making plans for it. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; I get to host and fuss and run around like a nutcase for nearly two weeks prior.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey, so can you tell me exactly what your Thanksgiving is all about? I was thinking about it, and I'm guessing yours has nothing to do with the Indians and Pilgrims.
I wish you a marvelous time!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving in your new home!
I'm thankful for your blog.
