It is going to look a bit like autumn with the Hydrangeas slowly getting browner. In one to two weeks time all its flowers will be brown and stay so over winter. Most of the leaves are still green. When I was taking a short stroll I noticed this autumn beauty. My own plants are getting brown too, but I haven't taken a photo yet. -

I think it is a truth universally accepted (to use a phrase from Jane Austen) that we tend not to notice the special places around us. I lived in Toronto for many years and, after visiting all the "hot spots" and special places, I didn't really pay much more attention to them unless I took visiting friends around. The same where I've been living for the last 12 years (southwestern Ontario). Because I grew up down here, I often disregard that we have have nifty places to explore and visit. One example is Point Pelee National Park, the most southerly and ecologically diverse park in Canada, jutting into Lake Erie. It is well-known, especially by birders who travel to it from places far away each May for the Festival of Birds. Over those weeks, more than 100 species of birds stop there on their northern migrations. I've been a couple of times, and it is quite the adventure. On the map, Pelee is the long tapering point down at the bottom of Essex County. It's a skinny peninsula that just fades away in sand. If you take a ferry (from Leamington) for about 90 minutes,you can visit Pelee Island which is quite outstanding as well. These are the most southern parts of Canada and have different climatic conditions than elsewhere which allows for many different species to flourish. (On the map, my town - Belle River - is on the other lake to the north (Lake St. Clair). About a 40 minute drive to the park for me. Photos from online in frames from my stash; Cass-Word Frame; fonts....? -

You're quite right, Ann, about the lack of colour this autumn. Maybe it's still a bit early (here) but I still expect to see more vibrancy. And leaves are just dropping without changing. We usually have a lovely display by mid-October.
