Saturday Photo: Thinking of Getting a Hypoallergenic Cat...
Visited a cattery (not at all a cat house) to see if members of the family react to Siberian cats with an eye to getting one. The good news is that despite cuddling with six Siberian females, all concerned report no allergic symptoms. Yay!

Saturday Photo: First Morning of Standard Time
It was "Fall back" time today, so we woke up extra early and made it to the Technoparc before the sun was up. Frost on everything, birds still asleep, but a lovely sunrise.

Satuday Photo: Some Strange Creatures at the Lachine Rapids
It looks like some folks had a grand time preparing for Halloween at le Parc des Rapides de Lachine. About a dozen carefully carved pumpkins were dotted around the park the weekend before the holiday, some of them in pretty hard-to-reach places. Kudos for originality.

Saturday Photo: Thanksgiving Greetings
Heat on, considering getting out winter coat. A chilly Thanksgiving day. Not at all religious but very grateful for all I and my dear ones have. Everyone should be so lucky!

Saturday Photo: The Sun Is Shining in the Trees...
It's taken awhile this fall for the trees to turn colour. Another sign of climate change? Perhaps.
But the sun has begun to shine through the changing leave, giving back some of the light that that the leaves stored during the warm season.
Oh, you say, it doesn't work that way. It's just that the trees have stopped making chlorophyl and the underlying pigments in the leaves are now visible.
Maybe, but you can't deny that trees in their marvelous way have taken the energy from light and used it to make all those leaves, once so brilliantly green and now flashing gold and crimson.

Saturday Photo: When Stars Fell on....
This is the time of year when the stars are out...in the front yard. I mean, asters are in bloom everywhere, rivaling the heavenly show. Quite lovely.
