Fall reminder

Fall

Yesterday I went walking at Jack Pine. Things are mostly green, though there are a few dead trees here and there, and no water in the ponds/swampy areas. (Also, the main parking lot for Lime Kiln is still closed post-fire.)

Fall

The critters are still welcoming. ;-)

It was a cooler day and it put me in mind of my favourite season, and so here are a few photos from previous outings as a reminder of what's to come.

A summer's worth of English Ivy has covered most of my house, including doors and windows.

Japanese Maple taken at the Ornamental Gardens. The last time I visited, it was gone.

This was taken at Lime Kiln -- wonder how many of these trees survived the fire.

Mazinaw Lake at Bon Echo Provincial Park. Canoeing is so much better in the fall.

Colour of summer

Summer colour triptych

Soon it will be gone again.

Trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

Wake up, you lazy dreamers!
The summer's waiting you,
The days are long and golden;
The skies are tender blue.
The earth is full of gladness,
Of light and song and bloom,
Join in the summer brightness,
Nor ever think of gloom.

- An extract from Lucy Maud Montgomery's poem June!
