Rain and more rain....

The weather has been somewhat of a disappointment lately. We did have a skiff of snow last week....

Dull and wet with rain for the most part. After the beautiful fall colors we get this? Please! Can only hope for some nice white snow or sunshine to take some pictures.

Boring........

Another beautiful fall day...

Nothing sweeter than a beautiful fall day before the colors all fade away.

How can one not love fall

I think fall is by far the most beautiful season. Yes summer is lovely and the flowers but there is something special about the fall season.

All the change is natural, not planted. When we have been going up and down the Fraser Canyon to North Bend these past 3 weeks it changes weekly. The trees high in the mountains have grown there on their own....or dropped as seeds by the birds. These changes are just so beautiful and natural.

Stay away rain so the maple leaves can keep changing :)

One Class Left.....

I've been taking a night school class in photography. I've learned alot and have really enjoyed it but four classes just isn't enough to learn all there is to learn....keep practicing. Tomorrow we have a field trip to Fort Langley. This will be an excellent opportunity to try some different lenses, angles and perhaps some reflection pictures if it is raining. I have a new 'brelli to take too :)

I still prefer the black and white or sepia pictures. Seems they don't show flaws or in my pug's cases the dry skin flakes from having a good scratch that they love :) But why would anyone want to take fall leaves in nothing but vibrant colors.......oh how i love fall.

Sunshine and Sunflowers, North Bend

Well another weekend

in Sunny North Bend, BC

I had planted some sunflower seeds very very late in the season and did not think that we would see the heads come out.............what a lovely surprise :) The bees loved them too!

Elliott's Day Out

Well it was a rather overcast day yesterday and I thought perhaps I should attempt to find some fall colors out there. So what better company if going through the bush than Mr Elliott. You see he is trained to kill bears.....one bite and the bear chokes...well

in theory that would be a good thought but in reality I would be the one wrestling the bear to protect my boy!
So we found a lovely hydrant......wanted to find one with a corn field behind but that was no where in sight.........plus corn this time of year is full of wasps which I am deathly allergic to.

Smells like someone else was here before!

What Mum, what is it????

Then off to the pumpkins.....they were rather interesting........along with the MUD that was traipsed into the truck after................sure you are going to wash the seats out Elliott...........

Oh I love the fall leaves. The colors are amazing and we were just a tad bit too early. Give it another week and it will be great. Going to try to hit up the Nahatlatch this weekend and see if fall has arrived there yet.

The colors are not quite through yet....but still some lovely sites.

Then came the sheep.....................

All in all it was a great afternoon on a nice fall day :)

Ruby Girl

Our friends have this lovely girl Ruby. Took some snaps the end of August when we were all camping.

This girl loves the water!!
