when you feel the bone structure of the landscape

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, 
the dead feeling of winter.  Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show." 
-   Andrew Wyeth

I have always felt that when the layers are peeled away from the forests and road sides in October what is revealed is akin to the underlying skeletal structure. It leaves so much to one's imagination. I really sensed this when driving this past weekend through central Ontario. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although on closer inspection of the rocky outcrops there was still plenty of lush green and color to be explored.

 

 

 

 

There were lots of natural treasures to collect on my travels this weekend. Here is my tribute to November.

 

I am really looking forward to seeing the swell season tonight in Toronto.

What beautiful moodiness in those photos.. I agree with you about the greens. In fact there is green everwhere still, just one of a different shade.

This time of the year really awakens me. Perhaps because I was born and raised on a hot little island where summer temperatures soared to deadly levels, and the humidity stifled... so when the rain came, it felt like the entire world was breathing a gasping breath of relief.

Have fun at the swell season! I love them. I love the bright red strawberry leaves and seed pictures as well. Beautiful pics today!

I really understand and feel that sense of peeling, although it takes much longer over here. Wind's been blowing lots recently so trees take lots of leaves off. It changes the landscapes indeed, even in the city.
I love your tribute to November. Such a pretty gathering of nature seasonal treasures.
Have lotsa fun in Toronto ! oxoxoxo

Your photos seem like time travel, and then the moments were encapsulated at the end, bracketed and measured. Lovely.
