November already?

I don't know what happened to October, but it went by with superhero speed. I've spent most of the month nursing a pulled muscle on my left side, something I didn't at first take too seriously. A mistake on my part, for sure. Days and days of ignoring it, I believe, only made it worse and significantly lengthened its time to heal. I hope this teaches me there isn't much virtue in the "grin and bear it" philosophy.

So now it is November and once more I offer you a downloadable calendar page. This industrious squirrel captured my attention as I walked down a picturesque country lane just outside of Ganonoque last autumn. My travelling companions all elected to enjoy a one-hour Thousand Islands boat tour but I chose instead to stroll around the boat-launch area, camera at the ready. I've done the boat tour before, more than once, and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to absorb the beauty that was all around me.
