Winter is just around the corner. A lot more trees without leaves started to dominate the scenery now. The trees that still have some leaves started to lose their top foliage covering the ground beneath with blankets of autumn coloured dried leaves. Soon they too will be left bare.

I was (more) grateful (than usual) for my iPhone today. There I was feeling quite smug about my ‘time management’ that I could stop by Black Mountain Peninsula for a quick photo walk after I finished my morning errand in the city before I had to pick up Ms 4 from school at 12. Imagine how productive my morning would be. Turned out I left my camera’s memory card at home, happily sitting in my laptop where I left it the night before. Ah, if only…

While repeating ‘the best camera is what you have on you’ like a chant in my head I continued my walk and was rewarded by a beautiful view of the peninsula. I rarely came here so I was surprised and appreciated the beauty of the scenery from this side of the lake even more.

More bald trees around. Don’t be fooled by the bright sun. Winter is coming.
