November in High Park
The beginning of November treats Toronto and its people with the nice, almost summer weather. High Park in the morning is just right place to enjoy this kind of days. There are still a lot of autumn colours around.












Ball’s Falls
Ball’s Falls also known as Balls Mills, Louthe Mills and Glen Elgin, is a historical ghost town located in what is now a part of Jordan in the Niagara region, Ontario, Canada, which dates back to the early 19th century.
Unfortunately, because of dry summer and due to lack of autumn rain the Falls are not looking as it should be. However there are a lot of people around walking along the trails and enjoying the quiet and comfortable weather.

Through the Window

The only thing I will miss in nearest time is the beautiful Maple behind of my house window. After over twenty years my lovely Oakville living we are going to move out of here. Many of our friends are really surprised and regret of our decision. They do not understand how can we leave the house I’ve built so beautiful and comfortable for living. I believe the next owners will appreciate whatever we leave for them.
Life is going on and we need new impressions, new projects and new inspirations. We are not going to far away from this lovely town, and it is not farewell. We are just saying good buy!
Our new place for living is the beautiful Vineyards Ontario region. I hope in couple months you will enjoy my new pictures and posts from there.

The last autumn breath
The third day of November was the usual partly cloudy and sunny day in Toronto. There were no rain and wind. But it was the last chance to see the fall colour. Next day rain and wind washed all that beauty out. Now we have mostly grey and rainy November days. The nature is waiting for the white winter attire. My daily companion iPhone helped to save this day for your review.
The first picture is the Grenadier Pond with the reflection of the High Park trees in it.
The berries on the bush is only treat for birds for now.
Autumn trees and bushes are looking at themselves in the pond water mirror.
Only some of Maple trees still are looking gorgeous in the red decoration.
However most of them are almost bald.
Oaks are red as well but not all of them. Oaks are stronger than maples and save their leave longer on their heads.
That Maple is red and yellow and looking like a watercolor painted art under the fall sun.
It is going to be white and green very soon with the snow and pine tree. Good bye Autumn! Welcome Winter!
Peterborough
Modern Toronto is a typical metropolis and it is difficult to know Canada through it. There are certainly some unique features that distinguish Toronto from other large cities in the world, but the spirit of Canada located in small towns.
Peterborough is one of those places. Cute and charming town situated on the banks of Otonabee River. There are two of the most distinctive and remarkable places it the town –
Lift Lock and Del Crary Park.
Otonabee River is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, providing a link from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. Also, Trent Canal runs through the very eastern portion of the city and is home to the Peterborough Lift Lock the largest and highest hydraulic boat lift in the world (65 feet or 19.8 meters).
Del Crary Park is a large urban greenspace on Little Lake, located in close proximity to downtown Peterborough.
Peterborough parks, canal, alleys picturesque covered with autumn colour.
