I welcome Fall with open arms. It is by far my favorite season. I love the sights, smells and tastes! The leaves changing, apple picking, pumpkins, sweater weather, football. I love it all.
This picture is an oldie from a Fall 2007 trip near Traverse City.

There is still some magic in this 78 year old lens. Fall colours outside Kwantlen Polytechnic University where I currently hang my shingle.
Sunny Fall day at Proud Lake nature trail, beautiful setting for rest and relaxation on a wooded trail.

This photo was taken in Lynn's garden on 27 September 2015, when I joined friends on a most enjoyable day of birding east of the city. I love the way Sunflower petals wither and twist when the flower is dying in the fall.
Below, I have added Howard Heffler's report of the day's sightings, adding that, as usual, there were some species that I didn't see myself.
We were all delighted to see a huge swarm of Greater White-fronted Geese fly over the wetland at Marsland Basin. In the far distance, we could see a second huge gathering of them, but these didn't fly towards us. People were seeing several Snow Geese mixed in with the flock, but I only spotted them when I had downloaded my photos to my computer.
It was also nice to see one of the four Badgers in the family that lives on a property adjacent to our friend Lynn's land. On a previous visit, I had been lucky enough to see three of these Badgers. These are so rarely seen.
"We had 12 people show up for a beautiful day to explore the sloughs east of Calgary. This included a lovely young family visiting from Lac la Biche. It was a bit chilly for the first two stops at the slough on Glenmore Trail and RR 284 and at Chestermere Lake. We then went directly to Marsland Basin when we spent much of our time. Although Lynn and Sue were not at home, we explored their property and listed 38 bird species and had a good look at one member of the badger family that lives on the adjacent property. By now the sun was up, we were all warm and there were a few passerines to add to the waterfowl. A highlight was an estimated 5000 Greater White-fronted Geese flying over. From there we went to the south side of Eagle Lake where we saw a distant murmuration of an (estimated) 10,000 European Starlings. Even from a distance this is a moving sight. Cattleland Slough did not add anything new to the list so we headed for home. Thanks to everyone for their sharp eyes and to Andrew Hart for his listing skills on eBird. The list below includes birds seen by the group and includes birds seen while driving and even the Downy Woodpecker in the Carburn parking lot. The numbers reported are the (best guess) of totals from all sightings. Errors of omission or commission rest with the author….

Thanks so much, Dan and Cindy, for driving Darlene and myself there and back! We both greatly appreciated it! Many thanks, too, to Lynn and her partner, for telling everyone to come out to their home and wetland as often as we like - the more often, the better : ) A reminder to anyone going out there, to please sign the small notebook kept in a plastic tub on one of the outdoor tables overlooking the wetland. If Lynn or Sue are anywhere to be seen when you visit, do introduce yourselves.
The Fall of Princes, produced around 1480, is a work by John Lydgate (ca.1370-1451) on the fortunes of famous people and how fate brought about their downfall. Lydgate based his text on a similar work by Boccaccio.
Didn't get a lot of color from the sky, but the trees in this area displayed lots of color. The shafts of light exploded just as the sun crested the ridgeline and then disappeared a few minutes later. This is near the Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee.
