Tell us about the perforated stone bits.
RépondreSupprimerOver 5 years ago, before we moved to Longueuil, a sculpture symposium was held in the park. That is a sculpture then made by an artist whose name is not mentioned on any plaque around the sculpture. Since there is no explanation either, we are all free to interpret it as we wish. I photographed it from two angles so both "stone bits" are the same production.
RépondreSupprimerAh, potsoc; such a lovely visual visit to your area. Thank you so much.
RépondreSupprimerA l'ouest, we don't get the bright scarlets of the maple and oak trees — the one thing I miss on the prairie.
Hello Bear, the scarlet is a bit late this year due to an unusually warm autumn. The decreasing light is here but the day and night temperatures remain rather high for this time of year.
RépondreSupprimerthanks for this celebration of fall color. how lovely to have such a nice bit of it in your own backyard!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Amanda. However, you should see what we had all around while living in our cherished Laurentians. We enjoyed it while it lasted but family came first and the kids thought we should be nearer to them in our old age.
RépondreSupprimerFirst time you shared your neighborhood, Paul. Wonderful signs of Fall.
RépondreSupprimerThose sculptures look like animals to me, especially the left one (a feline, or a dog) and the right one. Your autumn colours are beautiful. I believe the Laurentians were gorgeous (we missed them in our trip), but the grand kids and kids are much better. And in any case you home lacks absolutely nothing and has a lot of space.
RépondreSupprimerRosaria, it's not the West Coast, but we do have very nice scenery especially this time of year.
RépondreSupprimerGiovanni, nice interpretation of the sculptures, Now that you point to it, it does remind a feline about to jump. AS for the Laurentians, well maybe next time you come.
Ah, sumacs! I miss them here in Oregon, USA, because so pretty this time of year.
RépondreSupprimerwelcome here Snowbrush. Glad you enjoyed my sumacs pictures.
RépondreSupprimerHere, and in Oregon too I guess, we will soon be using your namesakes.
Snowbrush is actually a specific shrub of the Ceanothus genus. It is only found in the Pacific Northwest.
RépondreSupprimerNow my botanical knowledge has grown. To me, a snowbrush is a most necessary implement to clean my winshield after a snowstorm or to push snow off my steps. Thanks for the update.
