Change and The Posts of the Week

There's a park just a few steps from my door, and in the middle of that lies a lovely little pond. On the other side of that pond, sits a wooden dock surrounded by iron rails. The many trees in the area are changing to their autumn colours rather rapidly. The photo below is of a fine vine which clings gently to one of the rails. I snapped this shot on September 20.



Just two weeks later, I returned to that spot to photograph the same vine...

Farmers' Market

One day last month, we stopped in at a local farmers' market to buy some corn. They were rather disappointing compared to some of the other ears we've enjoyed at countryside stands before and since. All was not lost though. Fresh produce can be quite colourful and so I decided to snap a few photos.

This last one was taken at my son Jeffrey's house earlier in September. It was early evening and the sunlight fell across this one onion on his kitchen counter. It was still growing in his neighbours garden just the day before.

Back in a few days with some photos from my local park.
