Early fall photos

Here are some early fall photos I took last week while I was out walking. This is the pretty part of fall, before the biting cold wind comes.

Early Fall

Flowers are still blooming in the neighbourhood.  It has actually been quite warm the past few days,
t-shirt weather (77 F).

One of son K's friends came home from school for the long holiday weekend. Well, we almost didn't recognize him, he had lost 30 pounds since the last time we saw him some months ago. He said it was extremely difficult but he now works out 3 times a week, attends school, works at his job, and limits his carbs, focussing more on good protein. I told him it was important to try to maintain his good habits, so hopefully he will do that. He looks and feels better, understandably.

Early Fall

It's that 'fall' time of year when the chrysanthemums and my favourite flowering kale come out. Squirrels are scampering all over the place gathering acorns. There are pretty leaves falling on the pavement.  I do enjoy early fall before the cold, blustery winds start and the trees become bare.

I took this photo on a walk the other day, thought it was pretty, with the sun coming through the fence.  The weather was very mild, it made me think that early fall is quite a nice time of year before the biting winds arrive!

Alexandra at Blue Chair Diary who hosts Sunday Sketches surprised me last week with a beautiful song she wrote and sang, a tribute to her brother who is going through a difficult time. She is multi-talented that's for sure. You can listen to her song from her post here.
