My brother has been very industrious in clearing out the scrap wood from his land... and has the chapped, blistering hands to prove it, poor thing. This is only a fraction of the wood he's chopped to date!

One shack, two views

Well, the trees are (almost) the colour of shandy!

Muted silence



Photobucket

Down-toned view from the little cemetary in front of my brother's land -
As he says, "the neighbors are quiet!". I hope it stays quiet after the sun sets...

To heaven

From a gravestone to the heavens.

I've loved this boy from the first time I held him in my arms, a small 5-week old puppy... You cannot find a sweeter, happier dog in all the universe. He is my 4-legged soulmate, my friend and my big ol'melonhead!

The long way home

Just a typical country Quebec country road in the heart of autumn's indian summer.

Inner quiet strength radiates from this young man...
He loves playing soldier in the woods, I wonder what his calling in life will be!

The beast in the marsh



Photobucket

Yep, that's my little explorer over there... she found the pond long before anyone even thought of venturing that way!

Joy

My little nephew seems to already have a great attitude towards life... laugh it away!

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road. ~Voltaire

Tranquility

A sneak peek at quiet autumn waters... In this moment, it all comes together.

My sweet nephew, 11 months old and already loving the good stuff!

Requisite city creatures

Squirrels and birds are busy fattening up for the long lean winter months ahead... Somehow, city parks wouldn't be the same without 'em!

More industrial autumn giants

Giant church's backside...

...and a giant rumbly city sky.

Yellow treetops and closed ice-cream parlours. Hasta la vista, summer!

More in the "industrial autumn" series: once-bustling buildings housing giant steel and diesel monsters, now reduced to shuttered, cobwebbed modern blocks. What a progress!

Just a few shots from my neighborhood one rumbly autumn afternoon...

Taking turns at the fountain whilst contemplating passersby, falling leaves and the impending shortage of food.

What is autumn without her lush crops of bright pumpkins, harbringers of Halloween, frost and wicked delights?
