This is an old water mill in St Bruno, Quebec. The first mill was built in 1725, and then rebuilt in stone in 1741. The current building is the third mill on the site, dating from the 1760s. In the late nineteenth century the area became popular as a weekend retreat for wealthy businessmen who built several very large homes nearby. The mill was converted into a chapel for their benefit. It is now a Tea Salon (le Salon de The le Vieux Moulin), but it is only open at weekends. As there is no public road access customers have to walk in. Through the winter, most arrive on skis or snowshoes. The soup and hot drinks are very welcome during the cold months with the roaring fireplace keeping the customers warm.

First snow. I don't think the chrysanthemums were psychologically prepared for it; I wasn't.

A bee sampling the rosemary; late in October, so probably the last bee for many months to come. It is easy to see how well the rosemary flowers are shaped to welcome the incoming traffic.

The weather has been unusually warm lately. Yesterday I saw a butterfly (very unusual for the end of October). The roses are taking full advantage of the warmth. This is a Bonica rose, and it is always the last to continue flowering into the late Fall.

Jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus olearius) growing at the base of tree. They are poisonous and supposedly bioluminescent, but I have never seen it glow.

From earlier in the year. These are ghost plants, (or ghost pipes, Indian pipes or corpse plants; Monotropa uniflora). They are parasitic on fungi that live in symbiotic relationship with trees, (often beech trees), and come above ground only briefly to flower. Lacking chlorophyll, they are completely white.

The season is changing, leaves are turning and the geese are gathering to fly South

A viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus). It looks very similar to the better-known Monarch butterfly, both advertising to predators that they taste bad. Viceroys are smaller than Monarchs with a strong black line through the hind wings, and, unlike Monarchs, they do not migrate.
