My American friend is visiting and pretty much the same. But she also got compliments on her protest shirt here yesterday, so that’s good.

Good light. Good tree. 🍁

A classic Canadian mid-October photo of a residential urban side street. The top of a red brick and blue siding house is visible on far right, as are flower bed with varying amounts of green and brown vegetation. But catching the attention is a lovely 200+-year-old maple tree as golden hour approaching, glowing bright orange against and blue sky with light, fluffy clouds.

I was shocked to learn that friends who used to play that chicken into November have already caved. We’re getting old… Granted, it went from 28C to -1 in 48 hours.
