Last weekend was a rainy one but left some interesting patterns on the leaves.
The previous day I wanted to take a photo of the beauty bush in Rita's garden, but my camera battery was dead. Love the contrast of the purple and yellow.
Yesterday I brought my camera to work and took a picture of this Arbutus tree located just outside of the admitting department.
I took this picture just before the sun rose looking out the window of my office. Wet snow was coming down.
At days' end the snow was melting, but an icy rain had also come down and covered some of the bushes and cars.
Today was sunny and cold, the maple tree tucked by the entrance of this condo has some beautiful yellow, oranges and reds.
The beauty berry in the sunshine.
A closer view, love the contrast of the yellow leaves behind.
Sun dappling through the leaves.
A view east along the Fraser River looking at the sky train crossing the bridge, behind is the Pattulo bridge and Golden Eagles mountains beyond.
A couple of green leaves still hanging on.
A large log boom floating up the river to be delivered to a mill.
A Japanese Maple tree in all it's colourful glory.
The red of the witch hazel tree with a few green leaves still enjoying the sun.
Buds starting to form on the witch hazel tree.
Some more interesting buds.
Life on the west coast, Palm Trees and skeleton trees side by side!
Roses still blooming in November.
The crow checking me out while I take it's picture and wondering if I'll forget my food package.
The view into my condo, almost no leaves on the cherry trees, but a few still on the maple trees.
My ornaments ready to be shipped off for the ornament exchange with Mary Lou Weidman's online group. Can't wait to see which ones I get back.
I designed this block from my friend Debbie's 50th birthday a few years ago, she adores Hallowe'en.
This Japanese maple tree is just outside of one of our doors, it is so small and delicate.
I like how the sun is catching this small tree, making it glow in the afternoon autumn sun.
This is the yellow witch hazel tree that I love to photograph, its leaves are almost a lemon yellow right now.
This leaf has such a pretty shape and the shadow it makes on itself makes it so interesting.
This set of condos have some lovely trees by their front doors.
Still hanging on for a few more days of autumn.
This beauty berry bush has such a lush colour of purple.
I adore the colours of red you see the leaves turn this time of year.
This oak leaf hydrangea is turning even more red than last week.
Another group of the same oak leaf hydrangea.
This is the red witch hazel tree.
The view along the river just outside my condo.
The ornamental cherry trees in our courtyard are changing colours every day, soon they will be bare for the winter.
