Autumn Leaves

Here are a few shots from my walk to work yesterday.  I love the colours of autumn (who doesn't?), but these days the ground is covered in crunchy leaves as the trees themselves become more and more bare.  It's sad to know that the words warm and sunny are soon to leave our vocabularies for a few months stretch.  I'm not ready for another small town winter.  Already, the shops are open only on weekends, and there are no people on the street.  You know it's bad when even my favourite coffee shop is closed by the time I finish work.  Just a few of the things I can't stand about how this town functions.  A pretty place to visit, and a lousy place to live.  The beauty and activity of the summer is fleeting.

  1. Such a gorgeous walk to work. The red leaves are so vibrant! I do miss the north for this very reason alone!

    1. I have to say, if I must walk 2.5 KM to and from work every day, I'm glad it's THIS 2.5 KM! There are only a few Japanese Maples in town, but they're at their height right now and I am OBSESSED (and unashamed!)
