As I look at this last months pictures, it really is such a transitional month. There is still a lot of colour in the trees and then snow in and out ! Today was a freezing rain event, just letting us know what we are in for. But enough of that, for now we can enjoy the colour of late Autumn and lovely light.
This is when we went to Bayfield on Lake Huron. This collection of colours was in a garden we walked by. It felt like a complete picture of Autumn and look how bright that Japanese Maple is!
This is looking down the street to the Lake. Lovely warm yellow, so even though the sky was dull it felt cozy
That is down by the shore and the Lake is grey! We didn't get out of the car, this is Goderich and I remember the day as exceptionally cold!
And then we had some snow come..the flame bush had just come out in all it's glory
There are even berries still about
This dried Hydrangea head looks like it's wearing a hat
Snow and leaves and everything
My beloved Ginkgo just about made it but by the 3rd frost they were down. But so golden
These ones are hanging on
Bright sunshine soon took away the snow
More hats
The leaves continued to change
Just amazing
We went for a walk in the woods and all was muted colours
This is Huron Park and is it lovely
This conifer looked so lime green, it totally stood out that day
Then of course more snow
This is one of the streets, and it is hard to see where the road is
But the contrasts all around as Autumn meets Winter
The colour of the sky and the bright light made this picture perfect
Bright and sunny
The lake is starting to freeze. We had a thaw after this but it won't be long till it is totally frozen till Spring
Victoria Park Lake also was frozen on this early morning shot
The autumn leaves just bunching on the ice
There is still food for the birds though
I love this picture. The leaf just caught at the side of the lake and the lovely blue sky
Just idyllic
Back to the woods on a brighter day and the light streaming through the trees was such a soft light it literally felt like the air was glowing !
This shallow pond was quite icy though
I love this plant, just amazing in the meadow, now that's a seed dispersal system to be proud of, totally glorious
Sunshine in the meadow
And the tiny Christmas cactus flowers in time for American Thanksgiving....this cactus was on it's knees and if not for the cold tea would be a gonner!
As we have romped through to December I hope I manage to remember to take some snaps. In between mince pie making and general merriment!
