A beautiful view! Photo by Denya Massey.
Winter may be coming, but you sure can’t beat this lovely fall view from Southern Ontario, sent to us by our good friend Denya Massey. “Looking through Foster’s ears are the golden Tamaracks, a larch that is native to Canada and turns golden in the fall, then sheds its needle-like leaves for the winter,” Denya writes. “Tamarack is an Algonquian name meaning “wood used for snowshoes”. (We don’t need snowshoes yet, but needed the bonnet – the flies were biting still!)”

Weekly Business Tip from Mythic Landing Enterprises:
If you travel a lot for your job, it just makes sense to brand your vehicle or trailer. If you choose to brand your trailer, make sure that your logos will be visible not only while you are driving but also while you’re at a horse show when all of your trailer doors are open. You can even create bumper stickers with your business logo on them to hand out to your clients for their own vehicles.
