early autumn reflection

my stuffy and i

it was stuffy day in my class recently and so i brought my favourite stuffy - fred - the kids were thrilled!

it's as if from the skies they fall . . .

autumn in her front garden . . .

fragile . . .

by the stairs to the back porch . . .

on reflection . . .

reflective mornings as autumn arrives . . .  this taken during my monday morning breakfast with friends at the silver bean cafe here in peterborough, ontario . . .

a beautiful sky at school

the back playing field of the school i get to work at!

rounding the lake on a frosty morning

petals and stone

the contrast - visually and to touch with my fingers - was too much to pass by . . . .

pensive and painterly

riding in this morning through the first frost of this fledgling autumn season - i mean, let's call it what it is. summer is well and truly done!!!!

the river was pensive and painterly this morning . . . .

autumn in the very small spaces . . .

early morning riding . . . the early signs of autumn written in indelible ink on the leaves . . .

chelsea visits . . .

i love when she drops by for a visit . . . chelsea the wonder-hound . . .

fracture

this is one of the darker pics i will have up on the walls of my next photographic show . . . 

green on green

i meet a bloggy chum!

the very first blog chum i have met in the "real world" - linda fraser - made her way to peterborough to see my photo show at maggie's eatery.


linda and wendy got to share war stories around green politics and especially the rouge valley  . . .

it blows me away that this actually happened. 

transitions

rounding little lake on my way home after a superb week of school . . .

and wandering into my backyard to continue enjoying the extraordinary sky happily 

transitioning between summer and autumn . . . 

little red love letters

my big old maple trees out front are dropping love letters to autumn here there and everywhere . . .

early setting

yesterday evening before i went back inside as the rains were arriving . . .
