07/52 - Good luck Japan!!
September 22 - 28
Sapporo has been warmer than usual for the end of September.
The Autumn colors are definitely here and I am hoping it will last as long as possible.
In about one hour, Japan and Ireland will play against on the rugby world cup happening in Japan.
It was very dark under the maple trees and a couple of Barred Owls made an appearence. I had seen these two a couple of years ago. South Pender Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Dangling 'helicopter' maple tree seeds in the rain.
Sorry for so many photos of very similar things. :-) Not much going on with more days of rain and thunderstorms so had to run outside in our front yard for a few quick photos.
Today's photo invites you to follow the path along a beautiful tree-lined road with a charming rail fence. The leading lines guide your gaze toward a distant barn visible through the trees. The posts at the end of each vine row add to the scene, creating a sense of depth and tranquillity.

I found this little tree in a small New Jersey town. It was tucked away in the corner of a lush green front yard. I couldn't resist but to pull over and check it out. This gem didn't disappoint and I'm now proud to share it with the world. Please follow the link if you'd like to have a print - alexgubski.com/detail/Beneath_the_Breath_of_Summer
The Japanese Maple Tree at the Portland Japanese Garden is something to behold and has become the symbol of the garden because of its delicate beauty and amazing shape.

Smoke Tree Flame is a stunning medium sized shrub. The rounded foliage of mid green is highlighted by feathery plumes of silvery white in summer. This spectacular deciduous shrub changes into glowing tones of red and orange as Autumn approaches.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.
Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
--Fleetwood Mac
I thought I'd come out of my comfort zone a bit here and try something different. :-)
My neighbours have a huge sugar maple tree beside their draiveway which spreads a carpet of beautifully colored leaves all over their lawn.
It is a welcome site to see Gold Finches arriving to my yard. They have discovered the new thistle sock (a free present for subscribing to Bird Watcher's Digest). Now that they are coming, I hope that they will stick around. In past winters, they visit occasionally, but never stay long. Once the warm weather rolls around, I won't see them any more.
This was taken with the newest lens in my arsenal - the 100-400mm Canon f4.5-5.6 IS II. I've wanted one for a long time and I am loving it so far!

353/365 Red Maple tree in the back yard is turning red. Such a beautiful shade of red with the sun shining through.
These massive Maple trees are the largest in Canada, which can be found in the rain forest areas on the lower mainland and Vancouver Island.
They can reach heights of over 115 feet and their canopies are very impressive, could have stayed here for hours and hours.
