I love Autumn

What a beauty, the tree not me!

   I have never seen an Autumn like this one, my first in Canada. When I arrived and was travelling along the road to Eganville, one of the first things that struck me was the abundance of trees. Now I have seen how the trees change it is amazing.  My friend Bev took me in the car around Lake Clear and the views were stunning, the leaves on the trees were all colours of yellow, orange and red. Looking over the lake the view was nothing less than gorgeous.



The famous tree

   Driving along to Renfrew one day, for shopping, I saw a tree that was literally half green and half orange/red. "I must get a picture of that," I told Lyndsay, and on the way back we stopped. I took pictures from the road but with my limited zoom I was not satisfied. Lyndsay suggested that as there were no cows in the field we go across and get a close up. I scrambled forwards through the fence and into the field. We plodded through the long grass and cowpats till we were near enough to get a good view. I posed by the tree and Lyndsay took a couple of shots. Great , then we plodded back to the fence and I tried to get through again. I am not the most agile of creatures so I decided to back out as I thought it would be easier. I grabbed a piece of wire as I scrambled through, and Lyndsay yelled at me.What was all the fuss, I thought. Uh, Oh! I had only grabbed the electric wire, which usually has hopped up static electricity running through it to zap the cows! Fortunately for all concerned it was not on. Another of my little adventures.



On the road to Lake Clear

  

   The weather was beautiful and I enjoyed it all tremendously as I went about everywhere collecting different colour leaves to press, for the pictures I am making. Autumn is almost finished now, and the next thing to look forward to, with trepidation I may add, is Winter. I hope it does not snow before Halloween, keep your fingers crossed!
