After disentangling itself from a row of trees, the moon sails through an evening sky.

Serene
A recent sunset was tranquil, restful, calming.
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.
Tree in Field, Chatham-Kent
This tree stands, living through snow, rain, cold, heat, anything and everything thrown at it. It doesn’t rail against, revile, complain about, whine about the onslaught. Life is what it is, to be accepted and dealt with.
Turning
Another sign that the season is turning, the first significant snow. It’s beautiful to see, though the cold – minus 14 wind chill – is unseasonable and biting. It’s good to experience such cold. Makes me feel more alive and much more grateful to have a snug home.
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.
Long shadows
While the time change can be discombobulating, it can also bring a photographer new opportunities. I was unlikely to have captured this image before ‘falling back’.
It’s good to appreciate new opportunities, though they my be clothed in inconvenience.
