The “sails” of Canada Place in downtown Vancouver lit with colourful lights as seen from the roof of my office building before the sun came up.

We took a day trip across the line to Bellingham for some shopping and a nice dinner at our favourite seafood restaurant. After dinner we took a short walk around the waterfront and took advantage of the fairly clear but cool evening to take a few pictures. There wasn’t much wind which lent for some pretty reflections from the shoreline lights.
T’was the Night Before Christmas…

After weeks of constant and sometimes torrential rain we had a halfway decent day today. The sunrise was a pretty one over the city
Diptych

Playing around with some images taken at Bear Creek Park a while back to make a diptych using a program called Dipstych. There is something about them that appeals to me.
Gazebo

On the bench in our gazebo a few of these leaves were scattered. I think the red autumn leaves have always been my favourite.

These two were hanging out by the gazebo in the garden, a few inches over was a HUGE spider which I discovered thankfully not the hard way a second or two later.
Yep they are in shadow but I like the way it highlights their shape and differentiates them from the out of focus red leaves in the background.
Fresh and Green

A set of headless mushrooms in a local park. I love the vivid green cast to the left side of the photo from the nearby blade of grass. It was one of those days where it had been raining in the morning and by noon opened up to blue skies and sunshine and everything was still fresh and dewy not to mention a little bit damp. So were my knees after this picture.
Reflected

Darn that wind, a few minutes before this shot I had a perfect reflection of the trees in still water, ah well.
Like last year it has been difficult to catch trees in the full glory of autumnal colour change round these parts. It seems that the trees are taking turns changing and for that matter some seem reluctant to give up the green.
October Flowers

October has arrived and with it just the hint of colour change in the leaves and the last hurrah of the hearty flowers.
