Signs of Fall

We're having LOTS of rain today.

Walking through the neighbourhood this past weekend, it had just turned to September and I noticed early signs of Fall. Do you see the leaves starting to change colour? This is a maple tree:




Some leaves had actually fallen to the ground.




I noticed these grapes hanging outside someone's fence. No, I didn't even think to pluck a few off for tasting!

I guess what makes walking in Canada so interesting and exciting is the passing of the seasons, something we don't get here in Hawaii. All we have are the wet season and the dry season.

Nice photo! Here the leaves are starting to change colour, and the trees are thinning out. Yesterday I bought tiny grapes at the market - small, sweet and seedless, so yummy! Valerie

Been loving all your nature pics, like the one with berries and now this closeup of the grapes. I'm sure there's some sort of metaphor here!

Our maple tree is beginning to look much like the one you have pictured. However, I think the extreme heat has turned the leaves.

We had LOTS of rain today too! The weather man said that the leaves are falling earlier this year because the trees are conserving the water for their branches, etc. because of the very dry summer.
