Fall Continues Southwest Style

One of the best things about living in 2 different countries and climates is the extra long spring and fall seasons that we enjoy,  We begin Fall in September and October in the Canadian Maritimes and continue to enjoy Fall until at least mid-December in Sedona.  In some respects you could argue, we actually enjoy Fall until Spring begins in February here in the Southwest.

However, the deciduous trees like the mulberry, cottonwood, sycamores, maples and others do lose their leaves for 3-4 months so I guess that is winter even if the daytime temps are a comfy 55 degrees.  Of course, the nighttime temps are in the 20's now...  In fact, the leaves have been changing here for a couple of weeks and the grasses have resumed their winter colors, but there were particularly nice on Thanksgiving Day when Michael Chesley Johnson and I had a chance to take a walk on the Turkey Creek Trail.

A few random images of the season in Bernard, Maine


The french easel and the blue gloves


 One of my favorite Fall flowers:  the hydrangea  
The older ones are large bushes and this one happened to be drapped across a beautiful fence



The mussel diver
She dove for mussel's in her wet suit along with her companions in the late morning, then she set up a cooker and ate them with melted butter for lunch outdoors!  It looked like a nice lunch to me.  Something that is not so uncommon in Maine, but you would not see everywhere....
