Thanksgiving in Canada has just about come to an end, but I hope that most of you had a wonderful day and were able to spend it with family and friends. This red maple leaf just reminded me of the occasion. Fall has such awesome colours. As you can see, the grass was dry due to all the warm days we've had, but it made the leaf show up even more.
I placed it on my black pants leg to offer some contrast (and awesome black and gold coloring! :) ).
Hurricane Sandy a.k.a. "Frankenstorm" is heading this way and arriving tonight, so if I disappear for a week or two, that would be why. They are forecasting sustained high winds for days and loads of rain, so prolonged power outages are very likely. Hoping they are wrong and that all of us in the storm's path make it out without too much damage.
As we're enjoying autumn's look,
She's fading while hanging on a hook.
Cruel reality is a pleasure to our eyes,
Where her soul is dying with the time that flies.
One of the leaf beetles, I had thought might be Brassy Willow leaf beetle, but it's probably too small. In any case it certainly like munching small holes in Willow leaves and it is a rather fabulous looking thing.
