Such are (and have been) the distractions of late, I apparently forgot to post any more from our recent visit to the family homestead in Western Massachusetts.... it's a few weeks ago now (early/mid November), and due to the sad reasons for the trip there wasn't much memory-card activity, but there's always something going on, and the arrival of Dark-eyed Juncos in the garden (from a trickle to a wave) was a particular pleasure, despite the crappy light.
