Fluff....up close

so close you can see every hair on the darn thing. Wow. Amazing the light play on each fibre.

The fuzzy bits behind are some of the other milkweed plants this year.

Same location as last years shot, but set up differently as the edges were trimmed differently this year at the end of the driveway.

Hope you like.

Are we there yet???

Jade came with us this year and she was super excited on the trip up! Kept checking the windows to see what we were driving by (she loves car rides).

This is her, checking out the driveway, just as we turn into the lane for the cottage.

Gorgeous yellows were everwhere here! Leaves were lovely.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

RGB ..... Maple

Another one, like below, but also way different! A different place at the lake, a different change. Gorgeous intense red, green and blue.

:)

Electric Maple

Only resized this picture. A tiny maple tree at the shoreline on the lake this weekend. A spotty change for the season, and really kinda messes with your eyes some too as you try to see each leaf.
All sorts of suprises each year with the wonderous variety of change.

Sitting on the Dock of the .... River

My daughter Amy, enjoying some peaceful morning time on the dock at family's place. I loved the funky angle!!!

Calender Falls

First stop on the trip to see some of the falls in the area (admittedly late in the season and water was quite low, they were still very pretty), this one, viewed thru a frame of maple leaves, is lovely! I'm sure it was even prettier when the leaves fully changed, but I didn't manage to get there then. I was a tad early. But...I know the spot, it will always be there and I can go back and look at it thru different parts of the seasons.
Looking forward to it. :)

Goldenrod Feeds Two Today

And two different critters. A bee and a wasp as well. They were fairly slow moving and it was easy to creep up w camera and switch to macro mode to get nice and close. I probably could have gotten closer, but I liked this shot and left it at that.

Tis the Season

Many colours abound lately, here's one I found while visiting family down near Havelock.

This one is the bottom of the falls at the dam at Cordova Mines area. We walked down to the bottom and then worked our way back up river on the rocks. They are mostly black down there, some quartz veins running thru and some erratics too.

Convergence....

The storm tonight, as I drove home. I loved the way the tree's, fence, road and storm ridge all converge on the same point in the picture!

Timothy in view of a Storm

Almost home, the timothy was blowing in the wind of the approaching storm, seen behind. I love thunderstorms and often try to capture them when they show me their glory.

Two ladies

One is the lovely lady in blue, my daughter. The other, is the ancient black cherry tree she is standing in. This tree is very large and almost impossible to get a clear picture of in whole. Too far back and the other tree's crowd her. Too close and you can only see parts of her. It would take 3 adults to reach around her trunk.

A place to go, solitude.....

Crystals

Sitting on top of a flower seed head, snow crystals show their individual characteristics.
