I decided to go for a walk this afternoon to check out some of the beautiful colour along the quay. Yesterday we had a rainstorm, and the sun decided to come out today, so everything looked newly washed.

This crow decided he wanted to get into the game.

This bush flowers throughout the winter.

The green leaves and bright red stems caught my eye, and then I noticed the deep blue berries.

These bright red leaves caught my eye, and then I realized some of the leaves looked like oak leaves and some like maple leaves. The flower was like a lilac/hydrangae.

These are leaves from the same plant.

oops, another picture of those pretty leaves.

Here is the plant from another side.

Some beautiful fall colours in the maple leaves.

I'm not sure what this tree is, the bark was peeling and the leaves almost look like a maple. But not quite.

The peeling bark has a wonderful colour to it.

Let's hope for some more wonderful November days like today.

One of the last of the roses for the year.
