Out for a longer walk today, to get shots from places not on my normal route.
|
|
Looking east towards Mill Creek Ravine. It sortof looks like there is a hairy mamoth on the road down there! |
|
|
Same view, different camera settings |
|
|
Here, I've just crossed over to the east side of Mill Creek. This view looks down into the valley, roughly to the north-west. |
|
|
From roughly the same spot, this view looks mostly west. The bike path is the way I come down. It crosses over Mill Creek on an old road bridge, just to the left of this view. |
|
|
I spotted this colour off the trail a ways. As usual, the colour isn't as bright in a picture! |
|
|
Here is where I'm heading - a very pleasant walk. |
|
|
Off to the side of the path are lots of colourful leaves. |
|
|
Ditto! |
|
|
On this route there is a small pond, which by this time of the year is all filled up with bullrushes and long grass. What water is showing, is full of floating leaves. |
|
|
Another view down the path. |
|
|
And another one off to one side. You can see the grassed ravine bottom through the trees. |
|
|
At an open spot, I took this picture looking north-east. The panoramas from my balcony include the higher part of this bank, I think. It is often one of the earliest places to change colour in the fall. |
|
|
This is from about the same place, but looking south-east. |
|
|
Again, near the open area, there were several of this bright bushes. |
|
|
Further on, I detoured from the main path to take a shortcut down into the ravine. Here is a park-like area. The creek itself goes into a big culvert just to the left of here. I headed down the small trail, which got quite steep just out of the view. |
|
|
Here, I was in the bottom of the ravine, looking up and northeast. |
|
|
I was wandering around the west side of the ravine when I spotted a patch of colour. This was it - a tame-looking plant in the middle of some muddy ground. Anyone know what it is? |
|
|
This long walk joins back on to the end of my normal walk. So, I was able to take some shots along there, too. Here is the usual trio of trees. |
|
|
From about the same place, you look down into a small valley in the area on top of the river bank. |
|
|
Slightly further along, a look down into that little valley shows lots of fall colour. |
|
|
Hmm. I should have made this a big picture for use as a backdrop. |
|
|
Here is the second regular shot - the small hollow at the top of the first part of the hill up and home. |
