Skywatch Friday 4.11

Update: These are photos from 10/10/2008. Two weeks later than in the year than this post. Time for a confession! But do hurry and visit, as the colours are progressing nicely!

It was a long canoe ride.
It is difficult to watch the sky, while the trees wear their Autumn finery!

Around every bend in the road is another painting.

Rain to come next week, and cooler temperatures. Enjoy every day.

Clear blue skies, reflected on a calm, clear lake, with the odd cotton puff ball clouds. Even a drive to town is a glorious trip, punctuated by clouds. I imagine the angels floating by, revelling in their cream cheese, as they keep watch on us below.

This photo will appear in the Fall Cavalcade of Colour brochure. Stay tuned.

Wow the colour is changing fast! We will be heading up to the cottage soon. Can't wait but bitter sweet for us this time of year.

Oh my, what gorgeous photos. I can see those angels dipping into the cream cheese!

I like your posts very much, and Charles is really impressed with your admonishment to the media....

Such lovely photos, thank you for sharing them. They make me homesick for my old home in New Hampshire--we don't have the bright fall colors OR the water here in New Mexico...

Gaelyn said...

Wow, such fantastic fall colors. And the reflections on the lake double the pleasure. Like the new header too.

The trees are so much more colourful in Muskoka than further south. I think it's time to take a road trip north!

Wow...so much color already! The blue sky makes a nice backdrop to show off the pretty colors :-) Love the reflections in the water.

Judy said...

Is it just me, or are the trees changing more quickly than usual? But the redwings are still here, and I think they they should have been gone weeks ago...

Jenn Jilks said...

Good question, Judy, as I look back in my photo albums I am not sure. It depends where you are!

The dryness is normal. Things are so dependent upon a multitude of factors!

Plus, Labour Day was so late! Maybe it is just perception?

Caitlin said...

I like your cloud descriptors. Recently Josephine tried to name the clouds she saw out the car window and called them "bubbles", like the piles of foam she often sees in the kitchen sink.

Jenn Jilks said...

Or plays with on the kitchen floor, Caitlin?! That's so cute. Can't wait to see her.

Carolyn said...
