By the end of the weekend after Thanksgiving, most of the pumpkins around Duxbury will likely have been swapped out for Christmas sparkle, so I was glad I finally had time to do one of my favorite things - a drive-by "shooting". I have to admit that I'm getting pretty brazen about driving right up to the door and taking photos. I keep waiting for a scowling head to pop out someone's front door at some point. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2728/4122501245_740d8c481c_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="365" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2728/4122501245_740d8c481c_o.jpg" width="487" /></a><br /></div><br /></div>This cute little Greek Revival farmhouse is located right near the historic John Alden House and I love the wreath, urn and pumpkin display.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4123269632_1dba0fdac4_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4123269632_1dba0fdac4_o.jpg" width="505" /></a><br /></div><br />This is a town of "tasteful" displays in general and there were many instances of tiny pumpkins lined up along the lintel over the front door. It does add an easy and nice pop of color.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2739/4122497859_40887023c3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="371" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2739/4122497859_40887023c3.jpg" width="495" /></a><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This new construction shingle house sits hard by a river on a beautiful setting with great views. I love the plethora of pumpkins just piled up on the steps. It's very "bounty of the harvest" looking, isn't it?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2758/4122497721_d4c454a58a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2758/4122497721_d4c454a58a.jpg" width="490" /></a><br /></div><br />This old shingle house look beautiful no matter what the season. I really like the naturalistic look that simply morphs from season to season.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/4122497547_5433d7b8ac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="470" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/4122497547_5433d7b8ac.jpg" width="386" /></a><br /></div><br />Pimp my mailbox.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2744/4122497419_c4b43850d6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2744/4122497419_c4b43850d6.jpg" width="555" /></a><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> This is the historic King Caesar House, which is owned by the <a href="http://www.duxburyhistory.org/">Duxbury Historical Society</a>.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2560/4123268826_e00b2599f2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2560/4123268826_e00b2599f2.jpg" width="480" /></a><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And again, we have the little lineup of pumpkins across the pediment.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4123268930_14ae0830cf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4123268930_14ae0830cf.jpg" width="480" /></a><br /></div><br />I love these green pumpkins with the pops of color from the red berries.<br /><br />If I'm on the ball, I'll reshoot all these homes closer to Christmas when they are sure to be decked out in holly galore! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/40/61AD69B5456EE9E48D48218DA34439B1.png" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border: 0pt none ! important;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EQjz" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border: 0pt none; vertical-align: middle;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EQjz" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe to ::Surroundings::</a><br /><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript">tweetmeme_url = 'http://yoururl.com'; tweetmeme_service = 'bit.ly'; </script><br /><br /><script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
