To my American friends, Happy Thanksgiving! May you all have a wonderful day. Here is another view of that little maple tree that is still refusing to give up its leaves. It certainly is a stubborn little tree!

The water is cascading into a small lake below. Above the water, and on each side, are trees overhanging the water. The banks are covered in moss.

When the sun rose over Lake Ontario on Monday, it shone onto this stubborn little maple tree which is refusing to give up its leaves. ❤️❤️

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #OnTheEdge, several ducks seem rather reluctant to step off the ice.
#Photography #EastCoastKin

I went for a walk yesterday before sunrise and this is what greeted me at the lake. 🧡
#Sunrise #Photography #EastCoastKin
In the foreground are silhouettes of several trees on a grassy area. Beyond them the lake is reflecting the colour of the pre-sunrise sky. A band of orange is at the horizon and it fades to gold and then blue.

A cold walk by the lake yesterday.
#RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #BlueTue #Photography #EastCoastKin
This area of the beach at the lake is covered with many rocks and they spread into the water. There are shells and seaweed on the sand between the rocks. It is a windy day and there are small waves coming in over the rocks.

A mama and her two little kittens are enjoying the comfort of a warm tile roof on a lazy afternoon.

The tile roof is orange. The mama cat is fast asleep and the two kittens look as though they are about to fall asleep up against the peak of the roof.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, I drove to the lake this morning to find an appropriate candidate.

A seagull is standing right at the edge of the water. A small wave is moving in behind him and the sandy beach strettches out in front of him.

There is no knowing whom you might see when you take a walk through the woods. This fellow seemed very nice but didn't have a lot to say. 😃
#ForestFriday #Photography #EastCoastKin
The face of a person has been carved into the stump of a tree that has been cut down. It is in the middle of the woods and is surrounded by greenery and other trees.

A maple tree is covered with orange leaves. Behind it are other trees with green leaves. They are all growing on a lawned area with pathways across it.

A carpet of leaves to walk through in the park last week.
#ColorADay #YellowThu #Photography #EastCoastKin
Leaves have fallen onto the snow. They are mostly from the maple trees and are shades of yellow. There are a few smaller green and brown leaves scattered amongst them.

I love that the burning bushes are still bright red, even in late November, despite the cold temperatures and snow. ❤️🍁
