Apple picking is one of my favourite things, and something I look forward to all year long. Traditionally, my mom and I head to Elderkin's Farm near the start of October to pick a ridiculous poundage of apples that then require a lot of baking. This year is the first that I haven't been in Nova Scotia, at least for a visit, during apple picking season, and I didn't want to face the rest of autumn without the prospect of homemade applesauce (it's really not the same if you don't pick the apples yourself), so Emily and I went to Berryview Farm in Caledon, where they taxi (ok, wagon) you past a pumpkin patch to get to the orchard. We picked 20 lbs of apples. Each.

I finally got around to finishing off a roll of film that's been in my camera since the end of September. I really like how the roll came out (and can now enthusiastically recommend Ektar 100 as an awesome film), so I'll probably post most of the roll in a couple of blog posts! The photos span September to December, so there's a bit of mismatch in this set in terms of colour and whatnot, but I like it. You can watch the seasons change!
They're just so pretty. And soon, there won't be any left.
Janet and I went out yesterday for a stroll through the woods...here's some of what we came up with (see even more of them on Flickr!):
Ok...more leaves. They're just so pretty!
My friend Janet and I went for a photo walk in the woods:
