It’s starting to get colder and the outdoor scenery is really changing. Taking a morning walk requires a little more preparation now – a light jacket, maybe a scarf, and a pair of gloves. Stepping outside and feeling the brisk air really wakes you up! Here are some views from sidewalks and paths that show that it is suddenly the middle of autumn. The seasons change so quickly.
It is still chilly and a hot chocolate would be a good way to warm up – maybe later…

The walk is almost complete when a bright pop of color appears, but these leaves are on the ground, not on trees. It’s part of the fun of walking because you get to see unexpected things like this.

For more walks see the Jo’s Monday Walks series.
Lovely Autumn colour! 🙂 🙂 Do you know what the pink plant is, Meg? It looks like Coleus, often an indoor plant in the UK.

It was a delightful walk Jo! I’ll check on the pink plant because it was in a yard, but I think you’re right – I’ll let you know.

A lovely walk, Meg. I am coming over to your place for hot chocolate. I can smell the delicious aroma through the WIFI. This is my favouite seasons, when colour and the chill in the air remind me that winter months of tea and books are soon upon us.

I’ll get out a mug for your hot chocolate Rebecca! I think fall is wonderful too – it’s a great time for walks outdoors and maybe move a little faster to keep warm… 🙂

You found some lovely fall foliage. Interesting how late the trees are changing this year. There are a few trees in my area that still have some green or partly green leaves among the more colorful ones.

Over from Jo’s. Lovely touch of autumn. Surprisingly, the warm cup got the biggest smile – probably because it was an unexpected treat.
