The world is so beautiful right now. The trees are just beginning to burn with autumn colour and some of the fields are the same shade as creamed honey.

Today I was lucky enough to get out on the road and spend some time soaking in the early oranges and ambers. It could have been a useless day – both appointments in Midland and Penetanguishene came to naught – but I found myself wandering the back roads, ambling down a gravel avenue to find a blueberry farm that plays a part in a story I’m working on.

And this is what I saw, just past the boundary marking Tay Township.

In the driver’s seat, I breathed a deep, thankful breath for the beauty of this corner of the earth where I’m lucky enough to live.
