It’s absurd, sitting barefooted outside on November 18 with the temperature being 20C. We spent quality time on the deck.
Reality will hit tomorrow like a wave crashing onto the beach.

Fresh contrast
A field of new winter wheat, bounded by a cedar hedge, adds fresh contrast to the yellows, reds, greys, and browns of late fall.
Serene
Today’s dawn was a marvellously serene prelude to a great day. It’s good to be alive and to experience the turn of the seasons.
Ablaze
Sumac, ablaze in fall finery
Begun
Falls’ palette has begun its artistry. Brushing this bush is only one of many artworks to come.
Soaring
I stepped outside to see one, three, seven, eleven Turkey vultures soaring on an unfavourable wind, trying to gain an advantage during their migration. Two turn downwind, I suppose preparing to get a head of steam up to attack the wind.
Beauty underfoot
I looked down and saw this beautiful sight.
On the move
Migratory birds are on the move here. Robins are no linger tut-tutting, killdeer are scarce, have not seen or heard orioles and grosbeaks for a while.
On a recent grey and gloomy day, during an outing that took me to the north shore of Lake Erie, I saw this group of Turkey vultures on the move, headed west along the lake shore to the nearest way around the lake instead of over it. Such graceful birds.
Grey
Today was a fall day, cool with rain, low clouds, a north breeze. It would be easy to classify today as an unhappy, depressing, bad day.
I prefer to not think that way. It’s a fall day, grey, drizzly, a good day to give thanks for being alive.
thanks for and to look forward to sunny days.
Underfoot
While shooting landscapes I looked down and saw this gem. Beauty is sometimes right at your feet. It’s good to look down, we might miss something.
