Bark, snowberries, and a squirrel

It was brisk and pretty cold out today -- all of 7℃ with 39 km winds.  Brrrrrr.  The fall foliage is quickly disappearing off the trees that get the wind off the lake.

But, up at the north end of Little Norway Park I saw that the birch trees have turned golden rather than silver.  I've never looked that closely at these trees before, but it's a particular row along one walkway.

Golden birch, I think.

In the sunlight they're pretty captivating -- I thought, at first, someone must have painted them bronze.

Another birch.

At the south end of the park, there are snowberries along the fence for the toddler's play area.

And finally, he's very hard to see in this photo, but this little squirrel managed to find a whole piece of garlic bread to snack on.  It looked very happy.

Right in the middle there.
