The pond at Liberty Park, looking northeast. The last day of pure fall colors, after which trees started to loose their saturation. As a bonus images:

For Ann, Who Pointed Out The Scene
A Canadian Goose in Washington's Court, or Mr. Canada Goose [sic] to Washington
We've got the guns but they've got the numbers.
p.s. In late December, 1775, George Washington sent Major General Benedict Arnold (who would famously switch sides to the British - Traitor!) and Brigadier Richard Montgomery (who has just switched sides to the colonists - Hero!) to invade Quebec. This proved largely unsuccessful, although not for being a bad idea. The United States maintained at least through the 1960's detailed plans "just in case" we had to invade Canada. Upon declaration of peace after a successful U.S. rout of the mounties, the U.S. would annex Canada and territories and maintain the land and resources a la Puerto Rico. This was the plan for almost 200 years, and even then it was generally decided against.
