Autumn colours, by the lake, parsnips…

The first six pictures I took in our garden yesterday.

Our red oak is red, strikingly red, this autumn. 🙂

Birch tree & maple tree, again… I got a bit carried away with these two, they are both fabulously yellow, golden, this autumn.

Two pictures that I took by the lake today:

And I already wrote earlier that we are growing parsnips, too, for the first time ever, this year. I’ve made roasted parsnips twice, this was last night:

I used only salt and pepper and olive oil. And I don’t peel the parsnips.

Parsnip has a lovely nutty and aromatic flavour, it’s one of my favourite vegetables, best from the oven. 🙂
