Autumn colours dominated by …
… yellow and blue.
Such a classic fashion choice. 😉
Happy mid-week.

An Autumn Whisper
I took a very enjoyable walk near Great Slave Lake and realised that it’s now autumn.
I can’t put my finger on what is different, but the sun is different, the air is different, the clouds are different and the tone is different.
Warm, windless and lovely, the day seemed to be taking one of its last deep breaths of summer before its sound and heavy rest; I felt as if it was holding off winter with one hand while gifting us with these few remaining hours of perfection.
Carpe diem. 🙂
Visual Coffee
This was a recent morning scene.
I hadn’t had coffee yet but the bright morning sun helped me to get going.
Alas, as of a few days ago, this sunny weather turned. It has been a mixture of watery snow that has turned to snow that has turned to rain.
Inevitably though, whatever comes out of the sky over the next couple of weeks will be snow.
That’s the way of the north.
And it will stay for a bit, at least until March. And it will look like this.
Cold, crisp, clear.

Say Good-bye to Autumn
Here in Northwest Territories, autumn moves quickly. Three weeks ago, the leaves were just starting to turn.
Now the yellow is darkening to brown and black and almost all the leaves are on the ground.
We are about to head into the Northwest Territories’ best season – winter. Gleaming with atmospheric pinks and blues and a low sunlight that bounces off ice particles in the air, the sky is suffused with gentle colour and undulating sparkles.
Here is a favourite winter photo from a couple of years ago.
The Aurora Borealis is amazing, but like the variety of us, it’s not the only light show in town.
Greetings from the remarkable northern lights – of all kinds. 🙂
Leaves
Yellow leaves, so pretty and so short-lived
So bright in their autumn-clothed glory
Last gasp before a deep, restful slumber …
Have the best best of me now; I am here only for a little …
Autumn Lake
On a recent warm day I went for a walk on the shores of Great Slave Lake. This is a huge lake (tenth largest in the world) and is not usually this calm (unless it’s frozen 😉 ).
I think this was a last hurrah before northern winter closes in, and in fact, the weather turned windy and rainy the next day.
This was a wonderful last summer sigh and I’m glad I was able to enjoy it.
Greetings from an autumnal Northwest Territories.

Happy Thanksgiving
Summer reflected in the bounty of fall.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Big Red
I found these beautiful red bushes glowing in their fall mantle.
I don’t know what kind of bushes they are, but like most things in life, they’re just passing through, gifting us with their colour before they’re gone.
Happy Fall.
