October Collage

Halloween

A house in the city has gone all out in decorating for Halloween. Along with this set-up there is a graveyard full of headstones, a skeleton bride and groom and lots of spiderwebs. It was even featured on the evening news tonight.

Hanging On

Leaves on one of the cherry trees in the back garden.

Rainy Day

Today was a dull day with lots of rain and wind. This is my back garden taken through the window. I did not go outside today.

Fence

This was taken in Logy Bay today.

Leaf

Lots of rain and wind means our deck is wet and has fallen leaves on it.

Downtown

Downtown on a chilly, windy day.

Rainbow

I saw 3 rainbows today, this one was at Cape Spear.

Bowring Park

Today was a nice day for a walk in the park. After the rain stopped there wasn't much wind and the fall colours were beautiful.

Leaf

A wet leaf on the deck today.

Rainy Street

It's been raining all day. This photo was taken from my walkway looking up the street.

Junco

A junco on the ground in the back garden.

Wet Web

I found this wet web in the grass today.

Shelter

This little shelter is near the walking trail around Kenny's Pond.

Autumn

Some fall colours in a city cemetery today.

Sweet Chestnut Pods

I found these on the ground yesterday while out walking and had to bring them home to photograph. I didn't know what they were but after searching the internet found out they are from a Sweet Chestnut tree. Very different from a Horse Chestnut tree.

Street Scenes

Cochrane Street and Military Road, St. John's.

Visitors

A Pigeon, Northern Flicker and Blue Jay on the feeder in the back garden today. I took the pigeon picture in the morning and the flicker picture in the afternoon. The Blue Jays were around the garden squawking for peanuts (I usually put peanuts out for them every day) so I thought it would be nice to get a picture of a blue jay on top of the feeder as well. So I put peanuts up there to lure them and it worked.

Dandelion

In a field of grass and wildflowers this was the only dandelion I saw.

Blue Jay

A Blue Jay in the cherry trees in my back garden this morning.

East Coast Autumn

2 photos from today, the first one was taken this morning in the drizzle.

Rennie's River Walking Trail

2 photos from today. It was sunny but windy and cool (only 10ºC).

Sunny Autumn Day

I took a lot of pictures today, it was sunny and beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Autumn

Two pictures from Bowring Park today.

Travel Plans

Joe and I are going to Washington, DC in November so we've been looking at maps and renewing our passports. And, I think I forgot to share this great news. Until October 17th my starfish photo is the main photo on Kodak's home page! Click here to see it.

Boats, Big and Small

Another cruise ship, the Star Princess. I think this is the biggest cruise ship to come into the harbour. I wanted to get pictures of it coming through the narrows but I was too busy today. And some fishing boats with Cabot Tower, Signal Hill in the background.

Cherry Leaves

The leaves are starting to turn.

Sticks and Stones

Autumn Approaches

We went for a drive today and saw some autumn colour. We don't get much colour in this part of Newfoundland, though. More brown than orange, red or yellow.
