Mill Walk

Come Saturday morning, it seemed bright-ish and warm-ish; Sue suggested that we drive up to the Mill of Kintail for a little walk. Maybe we would see some colour, as we had at our Riverside Park on the previous day.

By the time we arrived, however, it was no longer bright, and we observed that there wasn't much colour either. Only a few little trees and bushes held any colour at all, like this one at the beginning of the path that we took.

Or like this plucky little bush in the gloom with the Indian River behind.

In general, however, we were heading into November bleakness, my least favourite month of the year.

Sue's red scarf helped.

This was a vertical panorama shot that I made with the phone.
I tried this with my camera but Lightroom couldn't stitch them together later.
Yay iPhone software!

After we reached the mill, we turned back toward the car by taking the broader path, The sun peeked out, but by the time I raised my camera, it checked out again. Somehow, I still like the subdued photo. Soon, even the leafy carpet will be colourless, but on this day, it was still pleasing to behold.

Finally, the sun shone for us, but I still prefer the dull photo above to the next one.

On the way home, we decided to divert to Tim's for coffee and a bagel, which we took to the park and consumed in the car, as is our custom.

Before I hit publish, please permit me to exhibit my narcissism by posting two photos that Sue took of me on our walk: the first at the start of our walk, and the second when the sun made one of its brief appearances.
