Brilliant colour.

It’s good to have a last burst of brilliant colour as we enter the seasons of muted colour.

Burst of brilliance.

A thin layer of fog just above the ground transformed the suns’ appearance into a burst of brilliance.

Brilliant.

The Silver Maple at the edge of the yard shed this brilliant leaf.

Autumn is here.

Almost crystalline.

One aspect of the beauty of African violet flowers is that they are almost crystalline, hewn from stone.

Way station.

Turkey Vultures are migrating, heading south for the winter. A short time ago we marvelled at the dozens of them soaring, gliding into trees, going to roost for the night at this way station. These are only a few of the 50+ that we had the pleasure to see.

Late season bounty.

Todays’ late season bounty, before the late afternoon rain arrived.

On the move.

Turkey Vultures are on the move, starting to head south for the season. I counted 40 a short time ago and was fortunate to capture this one.

Easy to forget.

When viewing such lovely flowers, it is easy to forget I work at an industrial site.

Welcome residents.

At least two chipmunks live in or around the back yard. Their attention to gleaning seed spilled or otherwise discarded from the bird feeders, in addition to their amusing skittering around, makes them welcome residents.

No time.

I had no time to get out from under the hydro lines to capture this flight of Turkey Vultures soaring on the early evening wind before they departed the scene.
