This blog of Leah's gets better and better with unexpected and interesting revelations, perceptions and discoveries that I look forward to. However, it is so California! I just felt a strong urge to inject some New England into the scenery.
Here is a picture taken a few weeks ago in Collinsville, CT. You can see the leaves were just staring to turn. This is another one of those factory-mill towns that are remnants of the 19th century in New England. This shot was taken about 100 yards from the old building where my current community band rehearses. This band was really a great find for me. The "book" has really tough arrangements of old marches, not the washed down high school band stuff, and of course a variety of jazz and concert band fare. In typical New England fashion, it claims to be the current iteration of a band that played there in 1849, although few of the original members are still active, or around to verify it.



And here is a tree in Vernon, Connecticut.
