One of 88 species of wild flowers that I found blooming last week Friday. This one was near the Hamilton harbour at the west end of Lake Ontario. I suspect that the waters of the lake keep the shoreline warmer at this time of year letting some flowers continue longer than those further inland.

Goat Herding
Leroy, our donkey, likes to keep the goats fairly close so when they wander, he goes out and brings them back to the barn for a few minutes just so they know who is boss. Here he is chasing Alice back to the correct location.

Dark O Night
This is a case of the camera seeing more than the eye at night. The camera lens was open for 8 seconds at F3.60 with ISO 1600. The light present is coming from the main part of the city of Hamilton about 30 km away. The tripod was on a bit of a hill so it's not quite level but I thought it was more interesting that way when I saw the results.

Moon Rise - Hunter's Moon
The October full moon is called the Hunter's Moon because, in earlier times, one could continue hunting for the winter's supply of meat after sunset at the time of this full moon.

Moonrise
Finally the colours have come to our area. On this Thanksgiving I am thankful for the place where we live and it's continual beauty throughout all the seasons. I took this at moonrise last night just 100 metres from our house. The fence that keeps our goats and donkey from wandering too far is just barely visable as a blur near the bottom of the photo.
