October colours..................

Short brisk walks today just for some exercize. It was in the 40 degree range, high 40s I would think. As we set off it began to rain so didn't stay out long. We went down to Kid's Creek. Always good for a short walk. I didn't see a lot of colour down there but certainly a lot of leaves have fallen. I could see more than we normally can of the water. There is nothing going on in the garden. I did manage to bring in a whole bunch of plants in the hope that they will do OK over the Winter.I don't want to think how far off Spring will be.
Our road has some pretty trees this year.
My garden is neglected.



I think I must take a walk around the neighbourhood I saw some pretty pictures on our way to Kids creek. For now, just some pretty trees



There was a lot of wind last night. If it was that way out of town I bet there are trees down. We noticed when we were out yesterday that several had come down.
Nothing much going on down at the Creek though. Gerry wanted to go back the way we came that was sheltered from the wind. I can see I won't be getting him out much during the Winter. I sent him back the way we came and carried on. Not a lot different from last time.



I love to see the seeds and pods but with the wind I think a lot blew away.

Some lucky critters will enjoy those
The first part of the walk is sheltered, but then we turned direction and was about to go into a more open area, that's when Gerry decided to go back the way he came. I carried on. It was brisk but I walked fast. After all this is about exercise as well as pictures.

I half way hoped to see my deer down in this area, but no one in sight today.

No birds either, everyone must be snuggled down out of the winds.


Even when there is nothing to see its a nice walk. Back into our home territory and some more pretty trees


The last plant to bring inside............

That one has to be replanted as there are two in there. It's a guessing game who will live now.............and what did I bring inside with them.? The first ones I did wash with dish soap but the last few I didn't bother. Ah well. Everyone needs a warm spot to camp out for winter. At least we don't live where I could bring in a snake or two. Just mice and spiders. I can deal with that...........I think. I just wish the mice would be smarter and avoid the cats.
