This picture was taken at the Red Apple Farm in Phillipston MA. We are now into the season of harvest festivals here in New England. It is glorious.

The pumpkins were photographed on the Mohawk Trail in MA

But not all fruit is edible. Jesus said in John 15, “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

Here is some of the fruit that is most precious to me…

The Zaanhopper is a little touring boat that takes passengers from Wormerveer to Zaandam down the Zaan river.

The canals of North Holland are filled with touring boats. I caught sight of this one in the city of Haarlem.

One way to get around the city of Dublin is to rent a hansom. These ones stood just outside of the Guiness factory waiting for fares

And of course no public transport system would be complete in any land of lakes and rivers without the bridge. This is the Peace bridge in Derry

I am finally getting back to blogging on a regular schedule and while I am still a little behind at least I am arranging to blog daily again. That has been a challenge for months and now I think I have figured out how to make it happen. 🙂

Anyway this week’s travel theme is ANGLES. Hop on over to Ailsa’s place when you’re done here and check out some of the other angles bloggers have taken from around the world.
