The first snow arrived the other day.
Autumn wasn’t finished yet.
So, it shone through, and the snow went away.
But it will be back.
Autumn Dress
One Mile Bay on Trout Lake is very near where I live.
I pass the end of it each time I want to go to town, and it always looks a little different each time.
Here it is in October.

There is no tree like the Maple Tree for colour in the Fall.

Duchesnay
A popular spot to visit in our part of the world is where Duchesnay Creek cascades down the rocky escarpment on the North side of Lake Nipissing.
Several ledges form pretty waterfalls and rapids in the almost 1 km trip from the top to the bottom.
This photograph was made near the end of the journey that the creek takes on its way to Nipissing.

Autumn On The Beach
There was a time when this location was the shore of a post-glacial lake.
Now it is an inactive sand pit.

Mother Works Slowly
She has many tools.
She is unrelenting in Her progress.
Along the way to the inevitable result there is much beauty.

Subtle Autumn
There are a few small clues here that Autumn has begun.
Protected by the surrounding forest, the ferns around this decaying log are still rich green.
Processes happen slowly in this part of the forest, but they are inexorable in their progress.
The log will in time be reduced to its elements and return to the soil which gave it life.

Fields of yellow appear.

Nipissing Afternoon
Occasionally Lake Nipissing is calm and tranquil.
One day last week, it was.

Summer Extension
Generally in this part of the world, the door to Summer is considered to close on Labour Day Weekend.
Occasionally Mother Nature forgets and leaves it wide open for another week or so.
When that happens, gloriously calm and luxurious afternoons occur.
The illusion that this will continue forever is strong, despite the certain knowledge that it can’t come true.
Lake Nipissing shows itself at its best during these special times.

It’s A Wetland Not A Swamp
Good for the soul,
Not useless.
To be preserved,
Not filled in.

Spring In The Wetland
Land with water in it used to be call “swamp”. When I was growing up, a swamp had little value.
Over the years, education has changed the minds of many and along with the change in thinking, the term “wetland” has replaced the word “swamp”.
The values of wetland are still being established in the consciousness of society, particularly those members whose minds are ruled by the economy.
Here are two sights with great visual and emotional value that wetlands provide.
