Fall

As Andy wrote, the fall (can't spell Autumn ;) is here. I wish I could spend a few days in Canada as the foliage is so great there. One day we went to a friend's cottage on a small lake. It was late October and wood was red, orange and yellow. Difficult to describe and to forget! This memory makes me longing for Canada. I spent the afternoon there, helping them fixing the roof (!) of their fairy tale-like house. I went for a short walk in the woods and felt, for the first time in my life, completely immersed in nature. The leaves cracked under my shoes as I stepped onto a path that was more familiar to wild animals than to me. When I stopped and realized that I could't hear the voices of my friends, I was worried to get lost  and eventually killed by bears. I had the feeling the nature was much powerful and wild that I had thought. It was time to go back. I didn't get lost but - if I think about it- I got lost in nature for a little while and it was scary & wonderful at the same time.
