Happy Friday.
Walking through the crunchy leaves has been an enjoyable autumn experience accompanied by strong childhood memories of playing in the leaf piles.

I’ve always liked this Bugs Bunny cartoon; another enjoyable childhood memory associated with autumn and Halloween. After all these years, it still makes me laugh.

Here in North America we might be heading into winter, but in Andy’s part of the world, the reverse is true. I hope you take a few minutes to visit his interesting site at Ebb Then Flood by clicking the link above.

Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.
The sun shines through an orange, red and yellow maple tree …

… illuminating its brief but brilliant array of colours.

Happy Saturday.
Penticton’s rose garden is beginning to fade, but the blooms are still lovely to see.
