Autumn has arrived with quite a drop in temperature. We were lucky enough to have warm weather well into October, but reality is back with cloudy & cool days. I decided that a short drive to Fort Whyte Alive would give me a good walk and maybe some photo opportunities.

Such a pretty place to walk, especially at this time of year

Since the last photo was taken at home, it must mean that my walk is over for the day. I just realized though, that I was at Fort Whyte Alive a few days ago for the sunset goose flights and I didn’t post any of those photos.
The Canada Geese were still coming in after dark, and I left since it was getting pretty cool and it was hard to see anything when it is pitch black. I could still hear them arriving though.
