Hi jg are the leaves turning yet?

hi artsled !!!

just a little bit...still very green for now!!!

around 15 c friday night...

went to lake last night...came back at 12 30 am ...cold...warmed up the camp...so, while waiting to be warmer...i had a cold one !!!

then , i realized i was low with firewood....took my flashlight and went outside in the shed to bring some more...

opened the patio..checked temp...8c...went down the stairs....just by hazard looked to the right....all black outside..

saw bit of '' white '' moving...then in a fraction of a second....loud noise and another bit of white and the shape of a back..

i had a moose about 35' on my right...just outside the '' light '' of camp...white parts were his legs...never saw the head...

my heart went to 18000 rpm for 2''....

first pic...lake casault

pic 2..on the right can see the last house going up to st alexandre...golf course on the left....about 3 miles..

last pic....i stand where the moose was last night...i was near stairs.
