Zoom w a View: Signs of winter on the sidewalk

The fall season has been described as a time of transition, e.g., from skimpy swimsuits to multiple layers of thermal long johns.

Leaves on the sidewalks in Wortley Village (Old South, London, Ontario) also reveal the change in seasons.


Their colour is fading or gone. They are torn.




Their brown surfaces are coated with ice crystals.


And some are encased in a thin layer of ice.

Fall is leaving by one door while winter comes in through another.

Is winter welcome?

My long johns are freshly ironed. I’m ready for colder temps.
