#29





The geese are heading south. The last corn has been harvested. The boats have their masts removed and are ready to be taken out of the water. Soon the piers will also be dismantled and put away. The leaves are turning every hue of yellow, red and golden brown. The mercury has dropped below zero. There is frost on the ground in the morning. I cannot leave the house without hat, gloves and scarf on. This change of season and preparation for winter is so dramatic. It's stunning and beautiful and already painfully cold............I never feel ready for it.

it is really very cool to have such a shift with the turning seasons. for us in australia, its so gradual, to the point that i always feel in disbelief by the time it is winter, forgetting we even have such a season.

nice pics
