Today on my way to work I took a few pictures in the little park near the university. The leaves are turning. It is a little late, but I've been forgetting to take my camera.
Still, they were pretty, with all that red, orange and yellow. I didn't get any pictures of the really red leaves, down the river a bit. I was going to do that after work, but it had become too dark. If they are still there on Wednesday I'll try again.
In the meantime, here are a few of the pictures. (Click to enlarge)

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

I love this last one of the leaves on the ground! I'm going to put it on my desktop! :)
Oh I feasted my eyes!! We have 18 inches of snow and temps hover around zero Farhenheit....lovely lovely leaves!
Thankyou for bringing a taste of your part of the world to mine :-)
They're beautiful; I like the last one the best!
I imitated Wiccachicky and put the last one on as my wallpaper......wish I could get the full size of my favorites, though....maybe we could ask and you could link to the actual picture as it came off the camera?
Sort of desperately looking for
.....a home where the Buffalo roam
Where the Deer and the Antelope play;
Where never is heard a discouraging word,
And the sky is not clouded all day.
The leaves help.
