Lots of projects – gardening and writing and my job! – have been occupying my time this past month, but sometimes you just need to take a breather. And with the autumn colours especially jaw-droppingly gorgeous this year, it’s been fun to get out and take in the scenery.
I don’t know how my hubby and I have lived within an hour’s drive of this site for twenty years and have not seen the Sheep River Falls until two weeks ago. I guess we still have a ton of exploring to do in our own backyard! 🙂
Lots of snow on the mountains already!
A long exposure of the falls. I had left the tripod in the truck, again….
It was so wonderful to have the place all to ourselves – I imagine it gets a bit crazy on the weekends during the summer.
Have you traveled anywhere new recently, or found a “new-to-you” spot in your hometown?
Flowery Prose 
Nice! what are the trees showing fall color?
There are huge stands of aspens out there – that brilliant yellow really stands out against the conifers!
Beautiful
Stunning!
Amazing scenery, that’s for sure!
Wow! Yes, stunning!
The falls are quite impressive – I am wondering what they looked like before the big flood in 2013, if they’ve changed significantly. There is definitely a huge amount of debris lying in and around the river.
Actually I am doing a bit of traveling close by and showing it on my new blog….right across the street actually! Lovely views there although I can wait with the snow.
Yes…I agree with you about the snow…it’s okay if it stays up on the mountains for awhile yet…. 🙂
Beautiful pictures
It’s such a gorgeous spot!
Looks really pretty in that area Sheryl. Our colours are just changing now, and we have been on the river/ canal with a boat a couple of times to see well-known walks from a slightly different angle! Have a great weekend!
Traveling by boat does offer a different perspective! So wonderful!
Just glorious! The most recent new place we have visited was the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec. We’re very glad we went!
That would be a fantastic trip, for sure! I’ve been enjoying all of your garden tours from your travels on your blog – amazing places to see!
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Thanks for showing us these photos. Beautiful.
I’m glad you enjoyed! A really wonderful place to visit.
Beautiful. Winter sure is a lot closer up in your end of the world!
It sure is – we have such changeable weather! 🙂
What amazing scenery on your doorstep. I find there’s always more to explore no matter how long we live in one place. Is that your truck at the side of the first photo?
That’s so interesting…I had to go back and take a look at the first photo and a few others I shot at the same time – it’s definitely not our truck, but it may be a vehicle of some sort, although I don’t recall actually seeing one while we were there. There is a significant amount of debris still in the river and on the banks from the flood of 2013 and whatever that object is, it seems to be cast up from that time.
Fabulous! I love that long exposure shot! Our fall colors, in the Adirondacks, are very late this year but now they’re beginning to get exciting!
You live in such a beautiful area – especially lovely in the fall!
Fabulous place to visit! I like your long exposure photo too. We haven’t visited anywhere new recently but have been re-visiting lots of local beaches now the crowds have disappeared. Enjoy your weekend Sheryl 🙂
Walking on the quiet beaches sounds like such a lovely way to spend time! One nice thing about summer fading…less vacationers! 🙂
Yes! 🙂
