It is autumn in Vancouver and the colours are turning to orange and crimson.
Gone are the beautiful gardens.
Children have returned to school leaving the bare playgrounds behinds.
Gone are the laughter and giggles that echoed through the tunnels made from abandoned equipment
We are now catching the last rays of the sun
The prime sunspots now vacated by locals and tourists alike
A few can still find a nook or a hollow to cuddle in the sun
Some will finish the book they have started earlier in the summer
Others holding on as long as they can
Smaller birds are still looking for crumbs left behind on the benches occupied by the lunch crowds
as bigger birds keep watch while the leaves turn
For my walking group, it is the beginning of many autumn walks
Watching the sunsets from my balcony is spectacular and it is also my last summer in this apartment as I will be moving soon and I will miss this view.
