Congregations of Boxelder (Maple) bugs are common in the fall. The ones with smaller wings are nymphs (juveniles). This tree had Boxelder bugs all over it, but strangely I only spotted the odd bug on the other trees in the area.
Although it happens every year, it's a bit of a shock to see the trees start to change color in August. The summer is short in Saskatchewan. The cool weather and (welcome) rain also make it seem like summer is ending.
The damp weather led to a rare foggy morning that coated the many spider webs on the bridge railings with water drops. I struggled to find a good angle with a clean background. The background in this shot is the river below, with the sky and clouds reflected in it.
