STICKY POST

Welcome to my blog.

I unfortunately missed the entire Autumn blogging season due to a move to a new house. But feel free to visit my Autumn (APN) and Late Autumn photo albums.

Autumn at Thanksgiving

, ,

Autumn peaked in Eastern Ontario over the Thanksgiving weekend (October 10-12). The forests blazed with brilliant colours. I took WAY too many pictures but finally managed to choose 28 for my Autumn 2009 album. The foliage images are best viewed in large 1024 x 768 format. Especially cool are the "up views" :up: Here is a selection from the album ...

Leaves in a puddle.


The backyard through a window.


The full backyard.


A favourite spot along my bike route.


The sun peeked out on an evening bike ride.

This series is stunning in 1024x768 format in the album.








More leaves in a puddle.


And finally Mylo looking very fit and handsome in his Autumn colours :smile:


Out of September and into October

, , , ...

As usual, I'm behind in my posts! Autumn is well underway here in Eastern Ontario, the richest time of year for photography! These photos show the arrival of Autumn during the last week of September and first week of October. They can also be found with a few more in my Into October album.

Red vines climb country fence posts and spread along wire fences.

A dash of colour in an otherwise green corn field.


The last of the Summer wildflowers go to seed.

Maple trees begin to change colour.


On an overcast evening the sun shines briefly from behind lighting up this scene.

Sumac leaves start to change colour.




Maple leaves begin to fall.




Apples fall to the ground, and here in a small pond.




After a week of rain, fungi sprout up on decaying logs.





All eyes are turned to the skies, filled with endless flocks of geese flying south for the winter.

A large flock of turkey vultures fly overhead.

And after a glorious month of September sunshine, the clouds finally roll in.

... with some dramatic results.

Member of the Week!!

:sing: THANK YOU to My Opera for making me this week's Member of the Week!! :sing: :sing: :hat:

This is such a surprise!! I can hardly believe it, especially since it has only been one year since I took my first photo with my tiny little camera. I am so appreciative of my Opera friends for your warm welcome here, and for your kind words and encouragement during my foray into the world of blogging and photography, while developing my "artistic eye".

I am sure to be mind boggled for quite some time over this honour. So once again, thank you so much to everyone here at My Opera for being so kind and for making my week with the MOTW!!! :love: :happy:

September - Between Summer and Autumn

September has been a beautiful month here in Eastern Ontario! :cool: Since the renovations I have been enjoying evening bicycle rides, stopping along the way to take photographs. My favourites are displayed below and can be found in my September - Between Summer and Autumn album.

It has also been a full year since my first "Lightly Browned Pancakes" blog post on Sept. 14, 2008! :hat:
I have come a long way since then! Much of my progress is directly due to my Opera friends who have all been so kind with your comments and encouragement. So thank you all very much!!! :love: And here is to another exciting year of phototography and blogging!
