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.

Crabapples

The crabapples are starting to ripen. This time of year, it feels like you are in paradise, even with having to wipe bird poop off my window the other day. We are having fabulous weather. It did get really hot for a few days, one day is was 36C (97F)and I think a black squirrel was passed out on our lawn, he did not seem to have much energy. Husband M thought he was dead then he started to move! We have been meaning to put a saucer of water out for the wildlife.

It's the time of year when you notice all the fruit on the trees are ripening.  I noticed these crabapples lying on a boulder and thought the scene looked very artistic, what do you think?  Good enough to paint, beautiful texture on the rocks!

McDonald's Canada has free coffee all this week until Sunday. I found out when I was at the grocery store and some McDonald's employees were walking through the parking lot with a large tray filled with small coffees. They asked me if I wanted one and then asked if they could have a photo taken with me. The guy said 'Don't worry, it's for internal use only'. I was already imagining my photo appearing in the local newspaper! Do you know that seniors over 60 get a 10% discount at McDonald's (well, the coffee anyway).
