Fall colours and Canada Geese at York University
Autumn is at its peak in Toronto and everything is pretty colorful. Last Saturday afternoon, the campus was unusually empty and the central lawn was taken over by geese who were busy having lunch.
The presence of these birds is a sign that real winter hasn’t begun yet (indeed, the lows are not below 5ºC). Soon, the birds will start flying south, migrating across the border.
I love walking on crunchy leaves that carpet the ground. When there’s wind, these leaves scatter around in circles and loops, flying all over the place, like little kids who just finished school and are running home.

Oh I did not know that! Thanks for the info. Yeah the birds are full of shit, you can’t sit on the grass they have walked on… its like blitzkrieg!
