It was finally a sunny day after all the rain we had, so we decided to take our granddaughter to the farm in Princeton, New Jersey. Little girl had a grand time picking apples and some pumpkins from the patch. I didn;t realise how many people had the same idea.., the place were mobed.

Aside from some good ol country music, pony rides and festival it was boring... not!

Anyways, here are some images I were able to take, although it wasn't easy with all this people getting in the way.

Those pumpkins show any polyp extension with that lighting???

Looks like the granddaughter had a great time.

It was really bright sunny day, Charlie.

My little girl didn't want to leave when time came and we ended up having a little argument, but overall it was a blast for all of us.
You know, I used to take her mom to this farm almost every year...
I'm getting old...

You are not getting old, just better. Think of it like a fine wine.

Well, we took a trip to the Poconos this weekend for some foliage viewing and visiting friends, of course.

Didn't make it to the Bushkil falls but nonetheless, I managed to take couple of shots of the foliage which was not a total loss after all.
On the way back from the Shownee mountain our friends took us to the little zoo they have over there, called Snake Farm ( or something like that, can't remember now). I'm not a big fan of the zoo's but the little granddaughter had a blast and I took some pictures of the critters they had. Mainly snakes and some monkeys, they even had some mountain lion in there and couple of leopards. Not too bad for a small place like that. Pretty clean as well.
Anyways, here are some images I took. Enjoy! ;)

And now for the animals. Please excuse quality as glass that animals are behind is wasn't very clean and old on top of that. And, the kids are usually allover it with their paws...
