7. Oh brrr brrr. You think I'm having sympathy for someone living in what for
me might as well be the Tropics? Hah. Not very likely. How cold is it going to get way down there? Will the thermometer be plummeting to what a bone chilling 65? :)

10. I hail from the Big Smoke. T.O. Leaves are just starting to change
but to the north they're in full array. I wish it could be autumn all year long. There's something about the quality of the light at this time of year that enhances everything. I suppose Nature is giving her devotes one last kiss.

I love Fall and Winter. Well, by Winter I mean the kind we have here in the Bay Area which is really mild, but cool enough to notice

12. From what I recall from growing up in the East Bay,
the leaves fall off in December and grow back in February. :)

20. Oh, yeah, you're in Toronto, aren't you?
The colours are better than last year. They usually best in the Muskoka area.

I'm in Lanark County, not too far from Ottawa, but I grew up in west TO.

21. Ottawa! Mordor more like it, land of Sauron Harper.

I'm surprised that trees let alone leaves haven't all shrivelled up and died, up there in land of the shadow.:scared:
