A little fall color in the yard.

We always wait for this time of the year for the oak tree to display it's fall colors.

Colorful early evening walk.

Colors are at peak along this stretch of our route.

Imagine the sound of the leaves under foot. Can you hear it? Can you smell the aroma?

Within days these leaves will fall to the ground leaving the tree bare until spring and making work for the property owner and the city road crews.

A new building on the lakeshore. On what the old timers call "Reiss Coal Dock"

C. Reiss Coal Co., 7th Avenue West Dock

This new building was built (assembled) several weeks ago. The word on the street is that it is being use to assemble large fiberglass tank parts (to large to truck as one piece). Once assembled the tanks are then load on barges and barged out through the Great Lakes to the Saint Lawrence Seaway to the U.S. East Coast 

Here are some of the pieces & tanks waiting for assembly and / or shipping.
