enjoying the season...

We know winter is just around the corner...and see the snow up on the peaks. 

But yesterday the sun was shining...


...and the shades of autumn were mine to enjoy.
  
Soon we will be wearing the winter clothing...
and the vibrant colours will have faded to brown and grey...
and this season will again be a memory.

Though it appeared they were flying east...not south...
the Canadian geese were having a party in the sky.  

It's fall...and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

  1. That goose party looks like a big smile in the sky!
    We'll have to combat the dreariness of winter with some vibrant scarves and hats..........

  4. ah. .the geese. I was outside yesterday without my camera when I stopped to listen to the distant honking coming closer. . I just stood there and marveled at the wisdom of the birds. . knowing to head south. Amazing creator.

  6. Yes, I think those geese are headed my way! We usually see hundreds in the park where I walk every morning but just a few have shown up so far this autumn.

    It must be so wonderful to "lift thine eyes to the mountains" each day, Judy.

  7. Wonderful pictures!

    The rain this week has washed down all our pretty leaves and left us with a mess!

  9. What beautiful trees! We had a very dry summer, so we aren't having much color...that makes me a little sad and a little jealous! :-) Thanks for sharing...I don't mind enjoying fall vicariously through your pictures! ha! ha!

  10. Nice fall pictures of beautiful B.C.
    I so enjoy your blog and others of MGCC, also access to such good recipes from afar is a bonus.
    As a Cdn Menno living in Germany it is nice to see what Cdn Mennos are up to across Western Canada.
