I walk along the Black Creek as night starts to approach but I am not scared because I have my 2 million candle power light. Unfortunately it quickly ran out of power and did not help on my journey home. Before the light fell I was checking out the changing of the leaves. Many trees appear burnt out from the lack of water and do not have spectacular colours. These yellow wildflowers provide some colour and they grow abundantly along the side of the marsh.

The Hamilton Family heads up to Uncle Bruce's cottage near Dorset to help cut out a nature trail in the back forty. We had a lot of fun, with a lot of work, and got to enjoy some fall scenery as a bonus. We got so warm and dirty that we even went swimming in Kawagama Lake which at the time was a little chilly.

The Canadian Geese decide to go on a short trip around Fairy Lake. They float around and then let out a few quacks and as a group start flapping and running on water until they lift off. It is quite fascinating to see the birds take off and land on water.

Acton put on another Fall Fair and it was a lot of fun - the rides, the games, the tractor and 4x4 pulls and all the agricultural stuff. The ride shown above is the Zipper, the cages rotate as the whole ride spins around. Erin was involved in the fairs as the Leathertown Ambassador has been adopted by the Fair as a junior part of the Miss Acton pageant. I have posted more pictures of the 2007 fair here and you can watch a video of the truck pull posted on youtube.
