Three Photos, Three Thoughts

This is the view out my back window today, November 1, 2015. This poplar tree gives me a good feeling every time I look at it. It is the descendant of a tree we brought in our car from Sudbury about 20 years ago. The little sapling grew to be about a foot in diameter, but we removed it because it was too close to the deck. Happily, there was a self-planted seedling growing nearby in our garden. We carefully rooted the seedling and it has taken off over the past 10 years. This tree gives shade to our back deck in the pre-noon summer sun. The yellow is a total bonus this year!

This is the view looking west on Highway 5 in east Oakville this morning at about 7:30 AM. An absolutely beautiful fall morning. I had just completed my first customer run with Airways Transit and was returning to base via an alternate route. They want drivers to be familiar with all of the ways to get in and out of Pearson.

This is what the corner of our kitchen window looks like rotated and cropped. What an interesting study in lines, repetition and light!
