Autumn beauty...taken on Oct 25, 2012

First signs of Autumn...

I love how this photo turned out, don't you?

I used my simple Nikon point and shoot for this shot; I'm always on the hunt for something unusual.

Did I ever say how much I adore autumn colours?

I discovered yet another way to add a different border to a photo in my Microsoft Picture It Publishing Program. This is a cut stamp effect.

What is prettier than a garden?

I walk to this place at least once a week.

I never tire of its changing beauty.

These photos were taken at the Bob Prittie Library in Burnaby BC.

Fall Bounty

Leona enjoys coming over on Saturday evenings to watch Midsommer Murder Mysteries on TV. She no longer has Cable so we meet twice per week, and enjoy some shows together, Midsommer being our favourite of all. Recently I decorated the coffee table in autumn colours. Leona decorated the darling pumpkin.

Our Small Group had a marvelous potluck dinner on Thanksgiving Sunday.

Doesn't this feast look delicious? I made the 7th Heaven layered salad.

 On Thanksgiving Day I woke up with a splitting migraine.

I hadn't planned dinner this year, so it was a good thing.

We ordered Swiss Chalet in the evening; Robert went to pick it up and it was yummy.

On Tuesday evening I'd planned to have Matthew over for Thanksgiving dinner, but he got the flu, so instead I had my parents and Leona.

We had bought a free range turkey from Windsor Butcher shop on Main St.

We all agreed this was the BEST turkey we've ever eaten. It cost $45 for a 13 lb bird.

It was worth every penny. There were lots of leftovers which we split 3 ways, including a microwave dinner for Matthew, who we missed very much.

Fall Beauty

Our back garden. Small but perfect with autumn splendour.

Autumn pumpkins and gourds at Granville Island Market.

I adore this time of year!

Glorious autumn day...

I love this time of year. I love it even more when a high pressure ridge builds up, and the days are warm and the sky is a fantastic blue colour. I took the above picture at Granville Island yesterday.

Here is the fall bounty at one of my favourite vendors in the market.

Here is where I sat and ate my lunch and enjoyed a cup of tea with this phenomenal view in front of me.

This is the Hudson's Bay company building downtown, built in the early 1900's.

And this is a picture of my glorious mum plant in my backyard.

There is beauty everywhere at this time of year.



Changing seasons

I took this photo while walking along the Skytrain path near my home.

The leaves were perfect as the fall rains hadn't arrived yet.

They were stunning in their simple beauty.
