Signs of Autumn in Our Neighborhood

Last week, when I took these photos, our Ottawa neighborhood still had lots of trees with colorful leaves...

I was reminded that October is the month we found and purchased our house here, 35 years ago.

The trees made the neighborhood feel like home.

After living here for more than 35 years, I still love the sight of autumn leaves.

It amazes me that there are so many colors...

It also amazes me - this year - that so many trees haven't lost their leaves yet. We've had a lot of rain this year. Is that the reason why...?

As I walk around, I'm also reminded that the crunch of walking on dry leaves in the dark always added an element of spookiness to Halloween!
