November Sunset
It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. ~L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
Yet One Smile More
Yet one smile more, departing, distant sun! Yet one rich smile, and we will try to bear The piercing winter frost, and winds, and darkened air. ~William Cullen Bryant
As the Sun Sets on Autumn
I love this poem by Stanley Horowitz: "Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all." We're reaching the point now where the etching is emerging from the mosaic.
Bald Eagle
Taken at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. We have a small colony of Bald Eagles on the Niagara Escarpment near Collingwood.
Time to Go
This is a composite of an intentional motion blur, a quick pan up the trees in the forest, blended with a shot of the flock of geese that flew into the scene moments later.
Old Baldy
Old Baldy, limestone brow of the Niagara Escarpment, rises 152 metres above the Beaver Valley.

O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. ~Robert Frost

Field of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold ~Sting
Swept Away #1
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Autumn Blaze
On the Bruce Trail in Grey County, Ontario.
Look Up...Look Way Up
Taken in Loree Forest in Grey County. I used a circular polarizing filter on my lens to cut glare and make the colours pop.
Reflection
A great place to sit and think!
Fallen #1
“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” ~Dr. Seuss

Just after sunrise Blue Mountain was bathed in lovely warm light.
