Fall Splendor in New Brunswick, Canada

I think the fall colours are now at their peak in New Brunswick, Canada. At least they are at my house! I have two large Silver Maples in the front corner of my house, and although the leaves only change to a dull yellow and not the brilliant reds and oranges, I still love them. They blanket the lawn in a thick crispy yellow coating that just cries to be run through!
We are also getting a lot of rain lately, and the tiny brook beside my driveway sounds like Niagara Falls.
This is my favourite tree! It starts to change very early in the year to the most brilliant reds and oranges and blankets the shed and ground in a carpet. There is also a "wind tunnel" that gathers all the leaves in one spot and this is my spot to kick up my heels and be a kid again! Both my studio and "my room" look out on this tree and you can just see the studio window in the upper left hand corner.
Happy Fall everybody!

Storms a comin'....

We are still being bombarded with dreadfully cold temperatures and now we are waiting for a winter storm. The good news is that the temperature will rise, but the bad news....well a storm! This is a quote from the weather office "Snow at times heavy changing through ice pellets and freezing rain to rain overnight. Snow and ice pellet amount 15 cm. Rainfall amount 5 to 10 mm. Local blowing snow late this evening. Fog patches overnight. Wind becoming east 30 km/h gusting to 50 this evening then southwest 20 overnight. Temperature rising to plus 3 by morning." Sigh....only another month of this....hopefully.
