Walking around the Glebe...

[fajrdrako]

For weeks I've been wanting to take pictures, because Ottawa is so beautiful in October. Today I finally went out and did it - having missed the best, but it was still fun. The bright scarlet tree in front of my apartment building has faded to a grey-burgundy, and half the leaves are gone. There are beautiful leaves thick on the ground to rustle through as you walk.

These pictures are the first taken with my new camera. My old camera was the digital equivalent of a Brownie: point and shoot. This one has bells on its whistles and I haven't learned how everything works yet. It will be fun to learn. Today's set of pictures:

Inside my apartment:
The delphiniums I bought at the Farmer's Market today:




My living room: the birds, the other delphiniums, the fannish portrait of Bodie from The Professionals:




Boys playing in the street:




The tree behind my apartment building:




I loved the way this tree cast a shadow on the house:




The playground:




A few brave flowers still grow in the gardens, despite the frost last night:




The fire station:




Another house on my street - I liked the little pumpkins hanging above the porch:
