Fall Colours

Today was a much better day for viewing the fall colours, which are changing very fast.  But we started out by sorting out my old camera equipment, which hasn't seen much action for 8 months now.  I'm back to my favourite Nikon, and it has definite advantages compared to my iphone.

The trees in our own backyard have barely begun changing colour, just a tinge of yellow and a bit of orange.

But right out behind us in the golf course are two old Sugar Maples that are showing lots of bright red.

So we headed down Co. Rd.12 toward the valley.  Roads were lined with many yellow and orange Sugar Maples,

Along the way we passed several quilt barns, this quilt representing a chicken!

Soon we were headed down into the Beaver Valley.  Colourful trees extended up the slopes.

We took Lanktree Drive that extends up the slope beside Talisman, and found the best group of bright maples that we had seen.  This is what fall colour is all about.

Then we headed home, but grey clouds and rain dulled the colour a little.  Glad we got out for the drive;  it's such a short time period every fall it's all too easy to miss it.  I have to say that it's nice to be back to my big camera too!
