Signs of Fall

It is only the middle of September,but all signs point towards fall.
I'm OK with that.Fall brings cooler temperatures,colorful leaves, even if only for a short time.
Warm sweaters and cozy blankets. Yes,I really do enjoy fall.

I even enjoy those chilly, rainy days.

Today we will look at some of the early signs of fall in Southern Manitoba.
These pictures are all taken several weeks ago,so we are much further into the fall scene by now.

Ok,so this may or may not be a sign of fall, but those white clouds in a blue sky are always pretty.

Blooming Goldenrod is a sign that fall is on our doorstep and about to enter. I think this is a lovely flower/weed.

A friends apple tree was loaded with these small, but pretty apples.I'm not sure they are edible, but they sure do look attractive.

Touches of fall color can be seen here and the fields are showing that golden color as well.

Golden fields, freshly harvested and already the straw has been baled.To me this is a simple but lovely scene.

The trees around Lake Minniwasta are certainly showing color.

Looking down,I see a golden leaf amoung the grass.

Another shot of Lake Minniwasta and some yellow leaves.

Purple Asters put on quite a show in fall.

Another Goldenrod,in a later stage of its bloom.

Something To Think About:

Falling leaves are simply summer’s way of saying good-bye.
