Walking among trees

I often go for a walk in the evening. The apartment where we live is very close to river valley where the sasketchwan river flows so i often go there. It is very serene to gaze out at the river with the waters dancing in the sunlight. I just love that place. Everytime the train goes over the river i lookout to catch the breathtaking beauty of the river valley. There is the calmly flowing river beneath you and on both sides of the river the land is completely covered with green lush grass and dotted with trees.




The trees around the school



The grounds around the school

     

                These walking trips took me to a public school near our house looking at which i wished my school was like that. The building itself is not so impressive as the grounds or the meandering footpaths which take you to the school. The entire ground surrounding that school is covered with green grass and trees. As autumn comes, the grass remains green (no doubt regularly irrigated by sprinklers) but the deciduous trees have started shedding their coats. The squirrels are busy, running here and there scavanging food for the coming winter. The whole look of this place has changed. As the autumn invades, the scenery is like a beautiful collage of colours with the coniferous trees retaining their green colour but, the deciduous trees are in their different stages of change with light green, yellow and orange. I am still to catch the beautiful maple leaves changing colours but, even without them its a treat to see the entire ground once covered by grass, covered by the yellow-golden leaves of fall (Even though our apartment manager won't agree with me as he poor dear has to blow the leaves off the grass :)) P.S : Images courtesy Vinay Bavdekar (Don't want to make a copyright violation ;))
