The cathedral and my residence are right up against the Byward Market.
At this time of the year, with the fruits of the harvest present in abundance, I love wandering by the fruits and vegetable stands.
Thanksgiving Day is coming up in a week's time. In order to remind ourselves of all the fruits of the earth for which to give thanks to God, each day this week my blog will feature a photo of the colourful displays around every corner - something offered for our reflection.
Today: We give you thanks, O Lord, for various kinds of squash and gourds

What a beautiful picture of the trees in all their Autumn splendour! The trees here in Wales are lovely now too but somehow they are never as vivid as the colours of the trees in Canada. Someone told me it is to do with frost and dampnesss - true or false I don't know. However, such beauty is another way God shows his presence and love. By the way, I enjoy your blog. It is nice to see what is happening in the Church in other parts of the world.
