Seasonal Colours

I left off yesterday in Dundonald Park, which is where I begin again today.


I passed by St. Patrick Basilica on another day from my previous post.


A few blocks away I caught these trees in fall colours.


And a block up the street is this sculpture set I've shown before, though it has been a few years. A First Nations hunter prepares to draw an arrow. His quarry, a deer in the background, stands as if it has already heard him and is about to flee. The gardening between the two was redone in the last year, as the vegetation had grown high enough that the two were out of sight of each other.


More fall colours, outside a home in Centretown. I've shown you this tree at a distance- the first shot from my Saturday post. We'll see it again from another angle.


Here's a wider view.


And this was nearby.

  1. Oh, after the yellow, the sad nakedness of the trees follows...
    Clever sculptures, I nearly missed the deer!
    Arty leaves there.

  2. We are not yet so far, the trees still have leaves, but probably not for long anymore.

  3. Your autumn, or should I say "fall", is looking good. How can the hunter be expected to kill the deer now he has no cover?

  11. That very first photo is so appealing to me. I wish I could walk down that street and listen to the leaves crunching under my feet.
