Starting to Change
Many leaves along the path are still green but some are showing their colours. The change will happen fast now that I see frost on the neighbors roof!

Love Nature
The heart shaped leaves of what I’m pretty sure is a young Catalpa tree are back lit by the late afternoon light.

Four Leaf Stems
Fall colour in happening fast now that the nights are getting cold. Yellow maple leaves glow in the sun while red and orange maple leaves provide a colourful background.

Green Veins
Staying with the leaf motif, at the start of fall, this leaf is still very green. Leaves are starting to change and fall, so colour is on its way!

Bittersweet Leaf
Close on a chewed up purple and green leaf of a Bittersweet plant. Native to Europe and Asia, this vine is considered invasive and poisonous (except to birds). Also called Woody Nightshade, its scientific name, Solanum dulcamara indicates it is a species in the potato genus solanum.

Two Worn Red Doors
This old out building sits on the property beside Unger’s Market in the Hyde Park area of London, Ontario. I visit the market often and have admired these doors from afar and decided yesterday it was finally time to get a photo of them.
