Fall Colours Take Many Forms

Saturday we drove further south, up over the Niagara Escarpment and into the Grey Highlands, where the weather tends to be a little colder.  Earlier frosts, more snow, and a different plant hardiness zone.  And quite obviously the fall colour was further along than it is looking out our windows here near the shore of Georgian Bay!

Sometimes it's an entire roadside, sometimes orange/gold, and sometimes more red.

Often it's an individual tree, usually a Sugar Maple.

And often it's a distant woodlot that the human eye can pick out, but the camera has trouble capturing.

Sometimes a shaft of sunlight that parts the grey clouds helps.

Or a dominant feature of the landscape like Old Baldy.  All of them make this short period one of the most beautiful of the year.  It just amazes me that nature can come up with such vibrant but ephemeral beauty.

  2. One tree or a grove of glorious colour. This really shows off those dramatic changes. Every one beautiful, but I do like the one where the trees are way below, the " No Exit" says maybe this was on a lookout higher up off the main road. Mrs F.G. you are a trooper to be driving off road for these stunning settings.

  4. Beautiful! I've noticed the reds are pretty much gone with orange and yellow being the dominant colors. The oaks will start this week giving another blast of richness.
