Welcome to FoxVox

Nearby, in Rosendale, New York, there’s an old railroad trestle bridge that’s very picturesque – lots of rusty girders and half-hidden in plant growth, etc. It’s been partially repurposed into a pedestrian bridge too, which stretches over a local Hudson River tributary, so that’s pretty cool. I haven’t gone across the river to take photos from on top of the bridge yet, but I did get a few nice ones from underneath!

I love how the plants are using it as a trellace, and the cut stone of the foundation is just fantastic. And who doesn’t love rusty girders and rivets – doing the ‘steampunk’ thing before steampunk was ‘in’ – heh. Oh, and I love the way the girders in the background of the fifth photo sort of look like they’re all over the place, in no particular or useful configuration (as well as the bright red leaves in the foreground, of course).

A few days ago, we brought home three choice pumpkins from a local farmer’s stand to carve! Haven’t done that in ages, but the inside goo and seeds are just as slimey as I remembered – hah! Here are the results of our knife-wielding activities – John’s on the left, our friend Tom’s in the middle, and my ‘vampire jack-o-lantern’ on the right, lit from within with tea lights:

Also, my jack-o-lantern seemed to be begging to be put on t-shirts, buttons, greeting cards and even a yard sign, and one learns never to argue with an orange vampire squash.

I’m really appreciating the leaves around here in the Catskills. (It’s quite a variety compared to the ubiquitousness of pointy Live Oak Tree leaves we had on the west coast.)

This first one I call Autumn twilight because of all the dark red ‘late fall’ colors, and the waning afternoon light:

In stark contrast, here’s a photo of a large heart-shaped leaf glowing with light:

And thirdly, another red leaf photo, but singular, taken against a backdrop of greyed and weathered wood:
