Thursday was incredibly foggy and left a think layer of frost on everything.

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day (today was not - we got both rain and snow). Rob said there was lots of frost on the car when we were getting ready for work so I grabbed my camera on my way out the door; I love the look of frost in the sunshine. These pictures are from spots along my walk to work.


Monday had been quite moist and the frost was especially thick. In some places the ice crystals were very long and visible. All the puddles were frozen over too. It was a lovely time to be outside; the air was so crisp and there was almost no wind so the lake was very still and mirror like. It stayed that way all day.


All the birch trees around here have turned gold. We took a drive a little way along the highway before dinner. The landscape nearly glowed in the evening sun. I didn't take any pictures from the car but I do have one I liked from my walk back along the path to meet Rob after work.


Happy Autumn everyone.

It's hot here today. At least by my standards (which include temperatures almost 70 degrees colder than it is right now). The sun feels very bright and there isn't much wind either. I managed to get a tan line on my shoulder while we sat outside for lunch and even in the office my skin felt sticky. By the time work was over though I had a plan...

When I woke up this morning I could hear rain and thunder and when I left for work the sky looked a little undecided about whether or not it would do some more so I had packed my handy-dandy (but limp in high winds) travel umbrella in my bag. For my walk home I pulled it out, opened it up and walked in my very own portable patch of shade.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching drivers swivel their heads around to stare at me as they went past. By the time I got home my glasses were sliding down my nose and I can only imagine how much more uncomfortable I'd have been with the sun beating down on me the whole way.
