A very nice set of images.
We still have a few similarly traditional farms in New England, but they are fast disappearing.
I still miss the old farmers we got acquainted with some forty years ago when we had a summer place in farm country in Western Massachusetts. They are long gone.

Fortunately, our Province has invested in this particular place (Ross Farm in New Ross), and erected an interpretive centre at the entrance. The "actors" are local volunteers who do work the farm and look after the animals year round. The blacksmith has one of the last ox harnesses for shoeing (they actually lift the ox off the ground!), and still does a good business shoeing animals for the ox and horse pulls that are popular in the spring and summer exhibitions.

These are really fine, John! One question, do you use a rain cover for the camera gear when photographing in the rain? My Pentax is almost waterproof. But if you don't have a corresponding water resistant lens the rain will creep between the lens mount and camera.

Yes, I do use a rain cover even though I have weather-proof bodies and some weather-proof lenses. It depends on the amount of precipitation, though. Light mist or sprinkling rain is usually not a problem. But for anything harder, I'll use the camera 'raincoat'. I also use a Billingham bag which is weather proof, and allows me to whip the camera out, and put it back in quickly, rather than having it on a strap out in the rain. A couple of years ago I was photographing in the rain without the raincoat, and I guess a drop got in around the EVF eyepiece. Suddenly, the EVF stopped working (and I use that almost exclusively, rather than the LCD). Fortunately, it dried out and worked fine. But I learned to take manufacturers' claims with a grain of salt.  :)

Wild, vibrant colour this year. More vibrant than usual it seems. In fact, on some pictures I find I'm using a bit of negative saturation and vibrance.

Excellent John. This year is the best for colour that I can recall. Even Toronto is full of colour. Perhaps because the summer was so dry for most vegetation and trees. Where are these taken? They sure remind me of Algonquin Park, Oxtongue Rapids and Hastings Highlands areas, all in North-Central Ontario.

Thanks, John. I was afraid the dry summer might ruin the colours, but it certainly didn't. About 10 days ago, we had a series of warmish days with cold nights. Perhaps that 'triggered' all the trees at the same time. The above pics were taken at or near Nictaux Falls (Annapolis Valley). Autumn has always been my favourite season – it's certainly gorgeous in the places you mention (I was born in Smith Falls, Ontario and lived in T.O. for many years).

I can't read the sign, but the title suggests there's a story here.

The second one's a classic, Armand. Good shooting.
