25 October 2024 – Move over, Macbeth. Make room for Julien Sorel.
In addition to the sere, the yellow leaf…

this season also offers us Le Rouge et le Noir.
Stendhal and Shakespeare would be equally nonplussed. (And, I suspect, equally unimpressed.)

26 October 2023 – The windstorms of late fall are upon us and the leaves tumble down.
They carpet city sidewalks and forest trails (here, Sasamat Lake, Belcarra Regional Park).

But a few last leaves remain.
They cling to their branches, bright contrast to the predominantly coniferous forest…

or hang suspended, caught mid-tumble by a random twig.

We soak up the gold-and-green of this blustery day and predict, “There’ll be snow on Grouse [Mountain]” in a day or two.
And guess what? We’re right.
