Autumn’s Purple

Today I’m back to my regular walk around the neighbourhood. The autumn colours and the lushness of the creek path make it one of my favourite times of the year to walk here.

And it looks like we leave autumn as we entered spring – with purple flowers. Chicory seems to be around all summer right into the late autumn months,

What’s new is the purple bell-shaped flower that is growing through the chain-link fences along the catwalk leading to the schoolyard. I’m not sure of its proper name but I love how vibrant the colour is.

As autumn starts to lead us towards winter I’ll be left without these vibrant colours. Luckily I still have some time before they disappear this year.

I was walking in Claireville today to photograph the Autumn colours and I can across this interesting tree. It is as though it is reaching out to you and showing you the way to the trail.

There seems to be abundance of yellow and orange in the park this season. Either it’s because I don’t typically explore these areas in fall or something’s up.

Well, whatever it is, its still looking darn good out there.
