Empty Slips, Empty Pool

There's one boat left at the Pier Park Marina, and my guess is, that will be gone soon. The pool is full of rain but empty of shouting kids. The cars and garage roofs are covered with fallen leaves.
Everyone was out raking today.

THANKS! :-D; November 8, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Chrissy said...: I totally dislike raking the leaves. We've been having lots of rain here (in place of snow), so the ground is littered with wet, slippery leaves. Great photos :-); November 9, 2008 at 12:03 AM
Unknown said...: The 1st photo is so beautiful! I've never thought you have to keep your boats inside during winter, but then I checked your weather widget and I realized it's pretty cool out there at this time of the year, so winters must be severe...; November 9, 2008 at 8:51 AM

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: Winters are definitely cold here, but not nearly as cold as OHT (my old home town, Syracuse) and that wasn't as cold as Pocatello, Idaho, where I used to live--we had a whole week of 40 below Zero F.

THANKS for all the great comments!; November 10, 2008 at 12:04 PM
