Let's head out for a walk

It's about 14 C (57.2 °F), cooling off a little so you might want a jacket. Here we go up the hill behind the old schoolhouse. You're seeing the start of the autumn colours today.

I had entered the bush (forest) about a minute earlier. This one is particularly nice because of all the maple trees and their famous colour display. It's my shortcut to the main path.

I left the forest and passed the schoolhouse. Here is a nice bed of big black-eyed Susans.

We're taking the path to the mall. The colours don't really change until the first frost which might be tonight but the maples seem to start earlier.

Isn't that colour amazing? It's almost fluorescent. Yes, it's a sugar maple tree.

That brightly coloured maple hides in this photo just behind the two rocks. You almost don't see it until you're right in front.

Here are some wild asters with a bee on them.

I reached the mall and turned around. This shrub has turned a dark burgundy colour.

Something flashed across the path

I pulled out my camera when I saw it but I was too late. Let's see if we can get you a photo.

I stood quietly and looked into the brush. At first, he tried that trick that dogs pull of looking the other way and thinking I couldn't see him. There he is! Standing there with my camera out, a cyclist went by and the bunny didn't budge. That is an eastern cottontail rabbit.

And now I'm home in the backyard and the sun came out briefly to light the vines on the fence.

Thanks go to @tattoodjay for the wonderful #wednesdaywalk tag.
