Leftovers

I am writing on Sunday morning, for your Monday reading, when, once again, it is overcast. Sigh. I do hope for better tomorrow (or today as you read this) as we plan to meet Sue's sister, Heather, halfway between here and Toronto. You may recall that we have done this once before, back in August. I expect that we shall then not see her for many months. At least, I don't expect any amelioration in the pandemic during that time, and we are not about to sit around in a park in a Canadian January.

Due to the overcast skies today (still writing on Sunday) will be another day semi-wasted in terms of taking in autumn colour. We could go for a woodland walk if it stays overcast. Woodland photography can be good in obscured light. We shall see. (No, it was too windy.)

In the meantime, I have some leftover photos for your delectation.

The first is another photo from the little bridge, which is only one car wide. I think I like it better than the tighter cropped version which I posted yesterday.

The next photo is from just around the corner from the bridge: a view that wouldn't look very appealing in most seasons, but for a few weeks in autumn when ordinary scenes can become quite fetching, it doesn't look bad at all.

Earlier in the week, I took this photo during our park kaffeeklatsch. I always love the frame that that one tree makes, but this time I was also taken with the parallel arch of colour beyond and below. It was a wide photo, but I cropped it into a vertical once I saw it on the computer. Wise photographers have instructed that what you leave out of a photo can be as important as what you include. In this case, I decided that the river off to the right didn't help the composition.

The next photo is a leftover from last autumn. It is on the patio of a local restaurant, and I snapped this from the sidewalk as I was walking by. If I get around to it this year, I should go onto the patio for a photo from a different angle. If I go early enough, there won't be anyone there to bother.

Finally, for now,  this is from the summer. I hadn't intended on taking another photo of townhall on that day, but I liked how the spire seemed to pierce the two clouds. This image has been sitting in my Blogger photo folder since early August.

As you read this, unless you do Blogger very early (like I tend to do), we will likely be on our way to Tweed to sit in the park with Heather for a few hours. Whether it is a great day for photos or not, we will drive through some very nice fall colour, but along that highway, we will just be waving as we pass by at some speed with little room to safely pull off.
