A Sunday Stroll

Sunday was a beautiful day, but the morning began with a thick mist on the lake

this pic was taken at 7:30 a.m.

a half-hour later

out the door for our stroll, I spied a hit of red

the leaves have begun to fall

huge boulders on the side of the hill

 massive

sunlight and shadow in the trees

a burl

I wonder how this would look as a bowl and what the wood pattern might be

sun streaming through the trees along the driveway

green turning to brown

the ferns are dying

lots of dead-fall in the bush

this fellow's cheeks were full to bursting

he must have been to the bird feeder

another burl, this one on a maple tree

looks rather like a hairy bum

This rock marks the small hill leading to our home

it has waves of pale grey weaving along its surface

 on our return

I love the pattern of leaves against the granite

 turning burgundy

 texture

our heart-nut tree is thriving, now that it's protected from the deer

colour

even the sedum is looking rosy red

I was surprised to find two buds on this clematis!

 diamonds on the water in the bay

I think this close-up would make a neat painting

turtle island in the afternoon, and back home from our stroll



Thanks for joining me!













Hope you have sunshine today.
Thanks for visiting.
