Great pictures, Guenter. Sorry about the upcoming s**w part. Come to FL and extend your fall *NM*

Well, it's that time of year, when Mother Nature puts on her fancy colour. Just her way of saying, "Enjoy it while you can, cause you know what's coming next."

So, we took the opportunity to drive north for lunch. Just a nice 250 mile round trip to Georgian Bay to the southern part of the Bruce Peninsula. Quite a bit of sunshine temps got into the mid 60's. There's no better way to enjoy it than in a topless Boxster. We saw a number of other convertible, including a new 981. Non of them had the tops down, except for one other silver Boxster who gave us a friendly wave back.

So, a bit of what we saw.









Our view from our lunch spot.



Waiting for lunch to arrive.



After lunch, just about ready for the second half of our permagrin fix.

They both had manuals.

Thanks Laz. It was a great picture day with the colours. Clouds in the sky always add so much to a picture I find, even though straight sunshine would have been warmer.

You are so lucky to consistently experience the true essence of the wonderful autumn season year after year! The air looks crisp, the trees are stunning, the water views are beautiful, and the cars look great! Thanks again for the absolutely gorgeous photos!

Best regards,

Rick

Thanks, Rick. I'd love the autumn even more - MUCH more, we could just skip that season that comes after it and jump right into Spring.

IMO,the most scenic time of the year to be driving around the Great Lakes. Bet you had those heated seats on..

Thanks Mike. It is a beautiful time of year. I just wish it lasted longer. ....maybe till the end of March? We'll maybe get another 2 weekends or so.

Actually, we really didn't seem to need the heated seats yesterday. We just had a bit of heat from the heater. That was about it. Once it gets down into the 40's and 50's, the seat heaters are much appreciated though.

I'm just starting to see a few Ontario plates heading south on I-71--the FL. season must be starting.

I wish I was one of the Snowbirds. Alas, I'm still part of the Polar Bear crowd. Next to perfect world would be Arpil - Oct in Ontario, rest of the year in Florida.

We do usually make it down to Florida for a week or two in late Winter.

Of course those on the Board are exceptions.

I heard a joke awhile back regarding what the typical Floridian's view of heaven was--it included a northerner from particular state headed north on I-95 with a couple of other types of snow-birds under each arm; True?

Quite true....the way I've heard it is that "happiness is a New Yorker heading north with a Canadian under each arm."

Of course that's not how I feel....unless the New Yorker is a Yankee fan

Maybe all those other Canadians try to spend their $CDN. We try not to confuse the issue so convert 'em to $US first.

Groucho Marx was dining alone at a restaurant when a woman he knew spotted him. She said, "Groucho, may I join you?" To which he replied, "Why? Am I coming apart?"

Depending on the woman, sounds like an opportunity missed.
