I don’t regard myself, by any stretch of the imagination, as a “real” photographer.

There is; however, an expression they use: “missing the light”. As the days grow shorter, I have discovered that there is  a narrow window of opportunity to capture images.

These are our Saturday evening pictures, while walking our dog, at the same time avoiding a (very) large racoon that meanders, totally unconcerned, along the park’s foot paths.

While walking a nearly 100 pound dog, like ours – one doesn’t want to get involved in any sort of a pulling contest!

Our Wednesday evening walk through Westmount Park.

The City has started to drain the park’s lagoon in preparation for the winter season.

Unfortunately, the resident Mallard ducks – a “fixture” in the park all summer – will, very shortly, need to find a new home.

Autumn seems to be rapidly retreating evidenced by the cold morning temperatures and earlier sunsets.

Autumn has arrived – surprisingly, this early October is still comfortably warm. Another peaceful walk, with our dog, through Westmount Park.
