A lone Canada Goose standing on the backside of a sand bar. The bird is alert. Sun is shining on the bird from the right. The background river water is a muddy brown/green colour.

A gravel bar in the river. Behind it, gold coloured Poplar trees are interspersed with a few dark green conifers. The sky is mostly light grey & white clouds. Looking closely at the gravel bar, the specks center right are a small flock of Canada Geese.

Canada Geese are on their way South. A small group were resting on a gravel bar in the middle of the North Nechako River.

A single mushroom amongst fallen leaves and blades of grass. The mushroom's stem is twisted and the cap is folded up exposing the gills.

A hill top with a mix of conifers and deciduous trees. The conifers are a deep green. The poplars and alders are gold, amber and lime coloured. This section of hill top is more golds than green and set against a sky that is light Robin egg blue.

The sun came out this morning, whoo hoo!!! The poplars on the foothills are showing their autumn golds.

Hillside with a mix of conifers & deciduous trees. The poplars are turning yellow, but the colours are all muted by the mist/low hanging cloud.

Two garden snails are circling each other on a wet, flat rock. They are preparing to copulate.

It is such a soggy, dreary day. Rained for several hours, once it stopped the clouds came down to rest on the top of the foothills. No sunshine peeking through today! The garden snails are loving the weather and feeling quite amorous.

And on the other side of the pond, in the northern interior of British Columbia, the sky is the colour of lead, everything is sodden & even the crows looked dejected. There's always tomorrow๐Ÿ˜‰.

Upper right hand corner is a plump spider hanging from an unseen web. In the lower left corner is her shadow. Upper left corner is the caption 'October is Here!'. All of this is against a pumpkin coloured background.

October the 'Spooky' month. Big fan of traditional Halloween and harvest displays. I prowl neighbourhoods looking for yards with scarecrows, ghosts, witches, black cats & bats etc.

All things being equal, I couldn't handle the heat/tornadoes/insects that you have to deal with. But, let me tell you, we all get pretty excited for Spring up here!!!
