Autumn Photos

Joseph Ludi's daughter Kayt Ludi seems to have inherited the gene that is responsible for beautiful photography.
Here are a few of Kayt's photos, including this first one which is now also the header photo for the Blog Project. (Thanks, Kayt!):

I love this one:

The Annual Halloween Parade in Downtown Grafton

Beginning at 4pm on Saturday Octboer 24th, ghosts, ghouls, & goblins will begin lining up at The B&O Railroad Heritage Center for a short parade to the Fire Station.
Children of all ages are welcome and candy is aplenty (Somethin' Country has been accepting donations of candy).
(If it's raining, the Grafton Fire Department will be the beginning and ending point.)

Fall Pictures, continued

Photo credit for the following photographs again goes to Joseph Ludi of Grafton.
Thanks, Joseph, for sharing your skills:

an excerpt from the Valley Falls State Park website:

"Once the site of a lumber and grist mill community, the scenic treasure of Valley Falls State Park is located only a short drive from Fairmont and Grafton. This 1,145 acre day use park hosts a variety of outdoor recreation including fishing, picnicking, kayaking, and 18 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.The beauty of the park is enhanced by the spectacular series of foaming falls which were created by the dark, rushing waters of the Tygart Valley River and provides a boundary between Marion and Taylor counties. The prevalent rock formation known as Connoquenessing Sandstone, forms the cap of the falls over which the river plunges and swirls and appears both as ledges and huge room size boulders for over a mile down the narrow canyon floor. "

If you have fall pictures you wouldn't mind sharing here, please send them to Coffee@Grafton123.com
