Autumn colours.

One of the sights I was wanting to experience was the changing colours of the trees in autumn.  One of the best examples was literally right outside my front door.  Some trees change from green to yellow and others change from green to orange to fluorescent red.  Such beautiful colours.

From this to this in less than two weeks.

Then there was a lovely surprise.  Two years ago, I did most of my Tai Chi on the back deck and I had a little companion who thought I didn't see him steal bird seed over the fence.  As I was doing Tai Chi one day, I glanced out the window and who/what did I spy but my little mate up to his old tricks.  This time, he/she was very chubby and looking well and truly ready for winter.  Still as cute as ever.
