I frequently walk through Penticton’s small but lovely Japanese garden. It’s very peaceful and relaxing, even in winter.

Although we’re fully into autumn now, it’s still quite green although most of the hydrangeas are fading …

… and some of the plants are showing their fall outfits.

What’s more indicative of autumn is the slant of the sun, the cool edge that the wind now has…

… and the tint of the sky. Somehow, this grey is different from the summer greys.

I can’t visit the garden without stopping to watch the fish for a bit. Some of them are very large and their colours definitely fit right in with the season.

Happy October. 🍂
