It appears that the frosty weather has arrived early, and thus begins my training and acclimatization for another winter of snow and breezy Train Bridge crossings in Fredericton. It’s early this year — below zero on the walk in this morning, despite it being absolutely stunning outside. The fall has been generally weird, especially the timings for fall colours. Leaves have been turning at different rates, which has made for a longer photography season, but fewer opportunities to get big swatches of colour at once. Still, it’s all good. I return to the same places and experience different colours, a different palette, trees and shrubs shedding their cloaks of green for ones shimmering in reds, yellows, and gold.

Despite this, the soul grows restless. I’m examining my options, both for travel and more long term endeavours, and will let things fall as they may. Casually, of course, but still. Fall is a time of change, after all.
