Autumn photographs

We've been having a lot of wet weather here the last week or so, and some pretty spectacular storms that roll over for a brief time, pour, and move on and we repeat that ever half hour or so.  The weather here makes me laugh cynically when people in Edmonton trot out the phrase "if you don't like the weather then wait 5 minutes" because they really have no idea what they're talking about.

There are even a few roses bravely flowering on, it's been a very warm May so I shouldn't be too surprised I suppose!
