Government House & area November 20, 2010

This tree on the front lawn at Government House has fine, copper-coloured leaves. It also has a strange trunk.

I wonder why oaks are called 'mighty' when they seem to break and fall over so much. Maybe it depends on the type of oak.

I walked around some neighbouring streets as the sunshine disappeared.

I love a good hedge.

Across the street at a Tudor house, someone tried to get creative.

While gazing upon a rather ugly topiary in the form of a big duck, I became aware of Steller's Jays making a ruckus and looked up to see this hawk overhead. Not a great picture - these dark days don't make things easy, but I am always happy to see an out-of-the-ordinary bird.
