My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world. Maybe I can encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. I was unable to …
#ScenicSaturday 14th October 2023
A cloud building over the warm Mediterranean Sea, courtesy of Stuart and his recent trip to Greece. Stuart has many gorgeous photos on his site, most celebrating the beauty of nature.
The geese are definitely marshalling themselves and seem to be nearing their departure for warmer climes.
This group was occupying some docks at an empty marina. Quietly murmuring among themselves, they nevertheless seemed to be expectant and focussed.
How do they know when it’s the right time to wing south? My understanding is that they have an internal clock that measures daylight hours and signals to them when those hours become too short for comfort.
I hope they have a safe journey.
Some of our national symbol maple trees are beginning their autumn colour-change ritual.
Many of the leaves are still green but others have begun their metamorphosis.
I love how the interior veins of the leaves turn red first, followed by the rest of the leaf as it becomes engulfed in colour before losing its tenacious grip on the twig and drifting to the ground.
I found this lovely example on the ground and decided to bring it home where it posed on my kitchen counter for a close-up.
Happy Saturday. 🍁
This is quite a handle for a cute little ground cover plant with flat green leaves and bright red berries!
The berries – which may last all winter – have recently changed colour and are adding another lovely colour dimension to our autumn palette.
Although they don’t look much like them, this plant is actually part of the rose family. I think those bight berries might be part of the family resemblance, however.
Happy Friday.

I love this amazing picture from Photear. I hope you click on the link above to check out Photear’s fabulous photographic collection.
The autumn reds are beginning to come into their own. During a break between rain showers, I stopped to take a few pictures of this arresting tribute to the season’s beauty.
This “winged euonymus” or “burning bush” is turning a brilliant colour.
This particular bush was of interest to me since about four or five days ago, it hadn’t started to change at all.
It won’t be long before it is entirely afire and likely causes others to stop and admire, a good thing in our busy world.
Happy Thursday.
Happy Wednesday.
Dark days. In the past few days, news from Israel has been devastating. The past months of war in the Ukraine have been catastrophic. The past years …
Thanks, Peri. I needed that. #new release #PandemicTherapist #dog #humor
Peri, Barb Taub’s certified canine pandemic therapist has published a book! I hope you click on the link above to read the post and review. I have greatly enjoyed Barb’s previous books and I’m sure Oh My Dog will be just as hilarious. Congratulations, Barb!
We are starting to hit the heights of our autumn colours; such a beautiful time of year.
Glorious autumn chrysanthemums bring visual joy.
A honey locust tree backed by an incredibly blue sky is a beautiful sight. The pods of the honey locust are sweet and edible, but are best before they turn brown.
The red and yellow ash trees are hitting their optical stride.
Happy Tuesday.
In Canada, it’s Thanksgiving. There is much for which to be thankful.
I hope you have a happy one. 🎃
