Falling leaves

Another beautiful day in the Falls. The weather is getting to be more Fall-like with the nights getting cooler and the humidity getting more comfortable. The skies have been bright blue. I love Fall and long for the yellow, reds and golds of God's palate to adorn the trees. A dear friend of mine, Maggy, says that Fall depresses her as everything is about to die. I look at it as a time of repose and peacefullness, just like we experience when we are sleeping soundly.

There is a very nice bikepath that leads from near my house to Goat Island in the State Park here at the Falls. It has a few knolls that one has to climb but in reality the area is not hilly at all. Once you get to the falls, you can meander in and out among the people. There are people from all over the world here between the American and Canadian sides. It's a shame that thet American side was so industrial for so long. The Canadian side is opulent while the American side has the beautiful state park and only a few blocks which are beautiful. The rest is all urban squalor.
Pity!

I gotcha. It looks really good. I much prefer the soft leaf colours and promise of spring. But I love it all, it's just the winter seems to go on forever.
