The autumn leaves are falling

Or rather have fallen...the trees are starting to look pretty bare.  So I figured I better take a few pictures before I miss the beauty of it all.  This is the first time I can remember (I can't vouch for the years when I was too young to make a note) actually experiencing a proper autumn season.  All the vivid colours and crisp, sunny days.  Long walks in the park and jumping into the huge piles of leaves.  Autumn here in Toronto - especially near High Park - is so....so beautiful and strangely energising.  There's nothing like the fresh morning air to blow away the cobwebs and get you going for the day. And now that the leaves have fallen off the trees, we have a better view of the lake from our apartment.

Though it has been an unseasonably warm autumn here, there have been a few days where, despite the brilliant sunshine, it has been face-freezingly cold.... -6 with the windchill!  So I now have a brand new Down and feather filled winter coat in my possession and am sporting my very own touk :-)

So, a few pictures of the season before winter rolls in....








PS. Forgive the rather liberal use of my new phone app to add filters to the pictures - I am rather addicted!
