Cropping and Planting Today

Do you ever feel awkward about taking pictures of other people's houses?

As bloggers this can be a common practice, but I often wonder what non-bloggers think of it.

While attending a historic homes tour recently this house caught my eye.  It wasn't on the tour.  Just one of the homes we passed by.

I love the way it has been decorated for fall and was compelled to snap a quick picture.

Once I got home and uploaded my photos, I was thankful for the crop feature which allowed me a closer look at the details.

This interesting pumpkin man and a few well placed leaves make a charming welcome on the front door.

To the right of the door sits an artistic vignette.

I would never think to do something like this, but I love everything about it.

I wonder if that coppery little pumpkin has been spray painted?

To the left of the door.

Some more of those coppery pumpkins in an amazingly huge cornucopia.  Gorgeous!!!  I can't imagine where you would find one that size.

The crow in the tree is something I could imagine being able to do quite easily.

One more look at the entire porch.

See the mini pumpkins above the door.  So sweet.

I also love the painted steps and lace curtains.

After taking the time to decorate so nicely, I somehow don't think this homeowner would mind seeing people snap a picture.

However, since I feel a little shy about doing so I'm happy to be able to do a bit of cropping in order to check out the details better.  I think that is preferable to standing in front of her house gawking for too long. 

 I'm off to plant bulbs today.

Tulips and pink daffodils and a couple of amaryllis for the inside.

Hope your day is a HAPPY one.
