This week, I’m struggling to get words on paper. On Tuesday, I had a short note written but then with a brush across the mousepad on my new computer, I deleted it. I’m making the real switch from my old computer with Windows 7 to the new one with Windows 10. To make this happen, I’ve turned to the wizardry of YouTube, where so many questions can be answered. There's something comforting about typing in “how do I disable the mousepad” and finding the immediate answer via a video. That means I’m not the first to experience this.

In between these online tutorials—and with a hit of early fall humidity, I’ve been taking photos looking out the windows of my house. I don’t have endless sky horizons of Iowa here in Massachusetts; instead I’ve created distractions at many of the windows. With the help of nature—and an occasional chainsaw—the vistas change every season.

Check out these new photos in my New England Gallery… Fall: Inside Looking Out.
