Fall On Fire

Yes!  I love autumn in Southern Ontario.  The colours are picture perfect and this year, we have been blessed with two whole months of beauty that has lasted well-past the usual short season.

This week has been a gift.  After almost three weeks of continuous rain, we have been out hiking in sweaters, enjoying balmy breezes and non-stop sunshine.



Nelson and his buddy play ball at the dog park on Henley Island.  They don't care what it looks like there, as long as there is an open field to run.


The beauty fades, the leaves fall, and the work begins.




 The weather man is forecasting the white stuff in the coming days.  
Groan.

What is autumn like in your neck of the woods?  Or are you into winter already?  
While you prepare to hunker down for the cold weather, think about all the fun you could have with your very own digital scrap booking programme.  Every comment from now 'til Nov. 18th at 9 pm will give you a chance to win a downloadable My Memories Suite

Beautiful colors up there! We've had some cold weather but this week, its more seasonable. I've been loving the long walks with the Dog!

We love Autumn in S. Ont. and we were happy to enjoy it this year (we had blue sky/sun most of our two weeks). Thanks for sharing these Fall pics.

Hi Rosemary. Such stunning photos with amazing colours. I love that photo of the two little dogs romping around. Strangely enough, my post tomorrow is all about leaves!

BEAUTIFUL colors! In my neck of the woods, autumn is a lot like winter and spring. Just with shorter days... The darn palm trees don't even have the decency to change colors!

Beautiful colors, lots of work though when they do fall! I do remember that from our years of living in Montana. Now I'm in Southern California; we really don't have much of a fall, but cooler weather, the leaves do change, not as vibrant colors though and they take forever to fall off trees (often into January).

My daughter thinks that your pictures are Van Gogh-esque.

Rosemary, I know all the photos are really ones you've taken yourself, because I've met you on your walks with your camera slung over your shoulder! :o)

Gorgeous colours! If we had the 4 seasons here, Fall would definitely be my fave season.
