The leaves and mossy rocks

There we were, in Fredericton to have breakfast at Claudine's Eatery and stroll the Botanical Garden, and maybe Odell Park if we had the time. Claudines was one of the best meals of the trip, in Galaxy diner sort of way. Calgarians know what I'm talking about. The place was jammed when we got there mid-morning, and there was a line up when we left.

The Botanical gardens were lovely, even this late in the year. There were a number of nice photos of Linda, and the flowers still in bloom, so there might be a part 2 of this, but as we were jut about back to the car, the light through the trees got really lovely, and I was captured by the leaves flowing over the mossy rocks.

I'm often fascinated by the texture of stone, and especially when there's water, or moss, or interesting tree roots, and doubly so when the light is nice. And wood, and old tree stumps with new growth showing the circle of life. You might end up seeing a few of these again, since I'm taking a Lightroom course later this month, and I'm thinking of pushing these images a bit towards the digital art space.

Downstream of Laverty Falls. Normally none of those rocks would be visible in the stream bed.

I wouldn't have dared walk on that ice, and yet, there he was riding along.

Another view of that wood grain, similar but not the same as the other day.

In and around the red bridge

Not only is it the only covered bridge in New Brunswick painted red, it's the only covered bridge thats painted at all. The point of building a structure over the bridge was to protect the bridge itself. I'm thinking that the actual weather covering was replaced as needed. Once you start painting, you have to carry on as you replace boards. I confess I have no idea how they paint the middle of the sides.

We started at Wolfe Beach, (photos to come later) and worked our way back to the bridge.

4. The view from the window upstream. I talked to some parks staff that were doing some drone surveys and they said this is the driest they've ever seen this river. Normally you wouldn't see any gravel, and the trees would be a riot of colour.

Lots of frost on the pumpkin, so

You get an early flowery Friday to cheer you up. These are from mid August.

1. I'm  a sucker for photos with ants on flowers.

Pretty sure this is in Glenmore reservoir. The metallic look of the water that day doesn't quite come across in the photo.
