A bit of colour

Where I live in Western Canada, winter is still here but not by any means as bad as in most areas of Canada which are locked in freezing temperatures, ice and snow. Of course, we do have snow on the nearby mountains (which is where it always should be) which makes the skiers and snowboarders very happy, but down at sea level all the snow has gone and warmer days are feeling promising.
I thought a photograph taken last year in the Fall would help to make winter a little bearable. This is a standard "tree with blue sky" type of thing but the colours are nice and the sky really was that blue!
