Dull?
This season’s colours are muted. The sky is often cloudy, blue-grey for days at a time. Fields are shades of tan, brown, dun. Dull? Perhaps, to some sensibilities. My sensitivity to shades and grades of colour is heightened, sharpened. I try to appreciate these muted scenes for their own beauty.
Blanket
A light white blanket softens the corduroy of a harvested cornfield.
Tundra Swans, Lambton County
These majestic creatures (Cygnus columbianus, link to AllAboutBirds from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are quite shy and keep a healthy distance from humans. This pair did not care for my presence a mere 200 or so meters away and took flight.
Tendrils
Tendrils of snow fall through the evening sky, evaporating before reaching ground level.
Weathered
An old, weatherbeaten shed takes on a ruddy glow in late afternoon sun.
Striking
The light this evening was so striking that I was compelled to stop several times, admire, photograph, and give thanks for such a stunning gift.
Combine in Fog
Details softened, this combine awaits its next assignment.
Burst
As our warm days slip away, replaced by more seasonal single digit (Celsius) temperatures, this bush provides one more burst of glory before the leaves fall.
What a wonderful time of year.
Late October morning
