Very Belated Fall Pictures

Sitting at my desk this morning and working, I realized that it's that time of year, where not only do I really miss the summer time colours, but I really miss the fall colours too. All I see are shades of brown, little bits of green, but mostly browns.  Leaves have long since fallen, grass has greened up just a bit, but that's because of the rain that we've had lately, it won't last long and then it will be brown too. I was thinking back to the beautiful September day when Jeff and I had a rare weekday afternoon together, and enjoyed it by going for a walk. 

I took my camera with because the colours were just spectacular. Here's a few of my favorites.
 
Standing on my driveway looking at our trees.
 

Looking down our street.

Sun through the leaves.

Beautiful red tree.

A row of trees by our Church.

Burgundy leaves.

Ornamental crab-apples.

The pond behind the cemetery.

Shades of red.
 
Here's a few of my fall visitors.
 
Mr. Blue Jay

A chubby squirrel.
 
I think it's time to fill the feeder again, doesn't take the greedy little sparrows long to empty it. I think the last time I filled it, it took them less than 24 hours to empty it. 
 
I'm glad I have these pictures to look back on as the colder weather moves in, and I will loose the little bits of green that are left to the white of winter's snow.

  3. hi there! just popping over to answer you about the chairs i did- you should be able to achieve a very similar look if you make your own chalk paint with latex paint (there are several ways to do this if you google It). i would do that and just do maybe one coat, and heavily distress.
