Love it when the neighbors get into the spirit.
Ornaments hang like hot air balloons from the mugo pine, with a lit-up snowman and reindeer are on the lawn.

Out watering the backyard, during this long warm dry fall. #yyc #gardening
Backyard picture with sun shining on green grass with browned potentilla in the background. Raised garden cleaned out with bird bath still in operation.

The day before the full Beaver #Moon in #yyc casts a bright light and shadows on my deck and boardwalk in the middle of the night. Also known as the Frost moon.

Wonderful to spend hours doing a fall cleanup.

In places in #yyc, it's becoming the season of the sticks.

Out for a #walk just west of Sherwood Park #yeg with my older bro.
A pathway cut into tall golden grasses and scrub poplars without leaves.

Frost in #yeg but a pleasant sunshine Alberta day.
Asphalt shingles on a roof white with frost but slowly melting in the early morning.

"Our Lady of Peace Mission" Building at #Heritagepark #yyc
Log cabin with a cross at the front apex of the building. Outside, crochet wheels of red and orange festoon the wall.

A home, on my walk, was wonderfully landscaped. Just love the yellow leaves. #yyc #gardens

That's about as brilliant of a yellow as our larch in the backyard gets.
#yyc #gardens #fall.

The red is dangling Virginia Creeper, outside our second floor window, which I just realized is in the grape family.

On a #bike ride this past Saturday, the sights in Calgary were spectacular due to the #Fall atmosphere. #yyc
Equal parts sky and water in a gray overcast sky mirrored in the water, only bisected with muted gray & yellow fall colours.

Love this lil garden at #heritagepark #yyc
Jammed packed garden in October still very colorful with pinks, yellows,silver and white in front of an old style building with reddish brown stain and in the background the end of a passenger train car sits idle.

It's Fall. Admit it.

Doing some Fall things like making applesauce. #yyc #Fall
A pot is filled with apple slices, dusted with cinnamon and too much sugar.

Starting to feel like Fall but not too much. #yyc #fallcolors
Highbush cranberry leaves a fall purple set against silvery wolf willow leaves.

Finally, fresh air in Calgary!

Fire smoke had lingered for a month, just not fresh until the last four days.

After a pretty good summer. Spoilt.

Guess it's green onion harvest time. #yyc #gardening. Haven't grown them in the past. This pot yielded radishes before being replanted in late spring.
A washtub is filled with dirt and green onions are spiking up from it. The washtub sits on a patio of pavers with a couple dog statues looking on.

I like when the trees reach out to touch the trees on the opposite side of the street. #trees #yyc

Out for a walk in #yeg

My mom-in-law's #rose. The scent is wonderful.

I hope your nose lifts your spirits, today.

Chatted with our community gardener today. #yyc #community #garden. She was dealing with slugs and planting new grasses that she bought on autumn sale.
Four large pots in a parking lot island with the same flower arrangements of canna lilies. Mostly juniper between them.
