I took these pictures over at the Experimental Farm this morning. I LOVE Canada Geese.
One of these things is not like the others! (What is that bird anyway?)
And here are a couple I took last weekend up in the Gatineaus, of the carbide factory ruins.
What do we love about Autumn?
Canada Geese
Leaves turning colour
Hiking in the Gatineaus
Driving in the Gatineaus
Fall jackets
Crisp mornings
Pumpkins
Back to school

Crackling leaves
Exuberant autumn colours: orange, red, yellow!
Apples
Running in the cooler air
Red wine
Country fairs
Whiffs of woodstoves
Flannel
Knitting
The word Equinox
Okay, your turn. What do you love about Autumn?
what I love most is thats its almost time to leave for Florida for the winter
I think the odd-looking bird is a decoy.
I like the pics of the old factory.
I’m pretty sure the mystery bird is Mother Goose.
That may be a juvenile snow goose.
root vegetables
turning the clock back
snuggling for warmth
cider
wearing handknit socks
The mystery bird is the ugly duckling but no one has told him yet.
Gloves and thick sweaters are good.
What a great list!
There I times when I really miss Canada, e.g., when I come across something like this list.
I was curious about the rogue goose in your photo (it makes him look like a negative photographic image of the Canada goose) so I went to the internet and found it fairly useless. So I went to my trusty old Reader’s Digest North American WIldlife guide and there it was – the “blue” phase of the Snow Goose. It’s not an immature snow goose, just a different colouring. Cool, eh!
Thanks everybody for your goose-googling efforts. I wonder why the Snow Goose is hanging out with the Canada Geese?
Grace, I’m wearing my hand-knit socks today. Pearl, I’m going to finish knitting my thick sweater.
Paul, welcome to the blog. Where in Canada are you from and how long have you been gone? We could maybe send you a care package of leaves and stuff.
[...] We did Autumn. [...]
