The Last Picture Show: Seasons in the Sun

"We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time"
Terry Jacks, Seasons in the Sun

It was a day that didn't turn out at all like I expected. My husband and I did a morning bike/hike up to the local gamelands, SGL 176, the Scotia Barrens, to view the fall colors. We saw a variety of pretty shades, everything from pale pastels to bright reds and yellows.

I was taking pictures by this body of water, one of the biggest beaver ponds in the gamelands, when my camera - my constant companion, my beloved Canon PowerShot SX50 HS - suddenly died. This shot was a few clicks from the very last picture it ever took.  :-(

The song: Terry Jacks, with Seasons in the Sun.
