Finally

Yes some of the trees have completely turned red while others only show a bit of color high up while the trees is still green. this one here is always one of the first ones .. the house is not ours but one a bit further down the street. today was such a busy day for me. first Hans and I went to Newmarket to go to Costco and a few other stores in the area..we always go through the Thursday paper which has the flyers of all the grocery stores in Newmarket. when we're done shopping in Newmarket we go to some in our town and then home..we just got back a little before 12 noon when the phone rang.. Grace..she had some trouble with her car and had it towed to her mechanic who has moved from Newmarket a while back to a different location in Toronto. she still takes her car there for service. now she was stuck without a car of course she called her mom to see if I could drive her there to pick the car up. yes I said I would only it had to be right away as the mechanic closes shop early on Saturday afternoons. so I gabbled down my lunch and headed back to Newmarket to pick her up. of course I made her drive the rest of the way so I could relax a bit. she thought there was something wrong with her transmission. she told me the car was shaking and there was an awful smell too..I guess she was afraid to drive it especially so far. we're quite surprised to find out that the car only required a tune up, a top up of transmission fuid and some more water in the radiator. we had planed on a walk somewhere there before heading home but the weather had changed and it looked like rain. so we went to a mall, spend some time walking around and looking at stores and then sat down for a cup of coffee. afterwards I was too tired to do more walking and suggested we drive home. now I was suppose to follow her as I'm not too familiar with the east side of Toronto.. have you ever followed someone on a busy Saturday on a 3 and often changing to 4 lane each side of the highway. it's nearly impossible.. well I got lost as she must've turned off and I continued driving further. as soon as the next exit came up I turned off and found a place to park. we're not allowed to use the cellphone while driving.. I called her and it turned out that we had to get off the highway and cross over to another one..this one was not as busy so she stopped on the shoulder (again not allowed) and was hoping I would catch up. Grace told me that I had to go back on the highway but take the ramp going west and I would come to where she was going to wait. once I got there I honked the horn and she started following me until she came where she had to get off to get to Newmarket while I continued to the end of the highway and from there home. I tell you I'll never follow her again.. not that it was entirely her fault that I got lost and I know that she was really worried about me when it turned out I was no longer behind her...by the time I got home it was past dinner time...so to night I won't get much done on here but will try to catch up tomorow..wishing everyone a good night.
Beautiful colors

What a lovely color of red! That's a great catch. I love that fall is finally coming but it's going to hit fast and be gone fast as well I think.

Sounds like you had quite a day, Bruni. It is hard to follow someone and admire for trying to. Love this photo as we have fallen leaves but not many and not much change in color yet like this. Maybe because it is close to 100 degrees for the next few days then to the 90's and to the high 80's at the end of the week. This is a FAV for me.
