Foggy, Foggy Night

 

With the beautiful weather

we have been having

this October....

 

....we have seen amazing sunsets,

but for me this one takes the cake...

...the sun disappearing into the fog.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Stupendous Blueberries

 

I love blueberries....

 

...and the fall foliage is absolutely stunning...

 

..against the mountain background.

My Garden - Fall Interest

 

The swaying grasses offer

a lot of interest to the garden

at this time of the year...

 

...as well as the hard and prickly

seed heads of Echinacea

Old Farmhouse

 

Something about the shapes

and colour in this scene

asked me to photograph it....

 

This house looks abandoned

but someone is actually living here.

Creeping In

 

Absolutely delightful,

our sunny fall days

lead to rolling fog

advancing in the early evening...

 

 

...marching in from the west coast waters.

 

Drifting Fog

 

Sunny weather in the fall

often brings early morning fog

along the coast and in the valleys...

...fascinating,

as it changes minute by minute!

My Garden - Crispy Leaves

 

I love fall colour...

...and the gorgeous weather we have been having...

 

...keep the leaves crisp as oppose to soggy...

 

...and I am enjoying these bonus sunny days

in my garden.

Traction

 

Looks like there is great traction

on these steel wheels....

 

....on this abandoned tractor

 in prairie country.

Golden Grass

 

Grasses add such lovely colour to a fading garden...

 

...with touches of red and gold

to cheer up the fall scene,

 before winter turns them

to a faded brown.

Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving Day! 

My Garden - Coreopsis

Coreopsis

 

Adding bright colour to my garden

all summer long,

Coreopsis continues to bloom

on into October.

Every time I look at them they make me smile.  :  )

StrataVolcano

 

On a beautiful day,

Mt.  Baker (10,781ft - North Cascades, Washington)

has a breathtaking presence...

 

 

...over the Fraser Valley.

Barn - No Trespassing

 

Happily driving along one day last week....

 

...I came around the corner

and this ram shackled barn leaped up

 into the left side of my vision,

...guarded by  

an amazing number of no trespassing signs...

 

...I  quickly shot a few pictures out of my car window

of the rustic barn and fall foliage.

My Garden - Pink Aster

 

As the garden begins to slow down

and foliage changes colour...

 

...this pink aster

warms my heart...

 

with it's delicate beauty.

I think it is a real gem.  :  )

Autumn Rain

 

We have had a very rainy week...

 

...and the clouds offer fascinating shapes to the landscape...

 

...as the trees begin to take on autumn hues.

Autumn is here for sure.

Barn At Minter Gardens

 

Once a farm,

the Minters saw this picturesque site,

and here created their

beautiful gardens,

which became world renown.

 

What a lovely setting for this charming old barn!
