I love how beautiful autumn can be. Tranquil, serene, windless, comfortably warm. On those days it feels a bit like the earth has relaxed into a comfortable chair and is taking a quiet breath of satisfaction on a job well done.
I think this photo represents that sense rather well.
Happy Tuesday. 🙂

An autumn leaf palette from Stuart.
This Okanagan creek, lovely and luxuriant in the summer, is gently fading into autumn.
Still lovely in its decline, the true beauty is knowing it will be back.

They’re here; autumn leaves from Stuart.
During a long walk on Penticton’s nearby KVR trail, I found this very colourful tree. It is undergoing an interesting transformation from green to pure red. This part of the trail is very dry (and especially this year) with powdery soil and many greyish-green sage bushes, so this tree really stood out. It must be very hardy to have stayed green during this year’s drought.
Later on, I found another brilliantly red tree.
They’re so impressively vibrant!
The Okanagan Valley is known for its reds – red wines, that is – but these reds are equally dazzling.
I am travelling back to the Okanagan this weekend, but in the meantime, I am enjoying the gorgeous yellows that we have here in NWT.
Have a happy Saturday!
Autumn wildflowers are such beautiful additions to the fall colour palette.
I think these may be a type of aster. They are definitely almost finished for the year, but they added their unique beauty to all of the colours we are experiencing right now.
Happy Friday. 🙂

I love the interplay of colour.
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
Autumn colours are absolutely stunning, and I especially like the reds that we get at this time of year.
What is your favourite?
I took a long walk today along one of the shores of Great Slave Lake. There was a very fresh breeze blowing and it was a comfortable temperature, but I could see the autumn weather on the lake’s horizon.
And there was something very fall-like in the air; the smell of the wind, the changes in the foliage, the angle of the sun.
When I came across a couple of very fresh black bear footprints, I decided to walk efficiently back to my truck – I didn’t stop to take a photo of them.
Autumn is coming, but if the bears are still about we may have a while to go yet.
