We had a great ride around Owen Sound today, doing a few errands and stopping in Harrison Park. I went for a ride in the woods while Mrs. F.G. went around deadheading in the flowerbeds, looking for Zinnia seeds. She got quite a few, but she'll undoubtedly order a bunch too over the winter.
Meanwhile I crossed the parking lot and headed down the trail. Right in front of me was the bright red Sugar Maple I saw the whole time. enjoy the pictures!

I've just realized that this is post #2500!! How have I kept at it for so long!? And I've just passed 850,000 visits, and almost at 34000 comments. Thank you all for sticking with me, the faithful visits I get keep me inspired.
You take the fall colours perfectly, distance, close up, here in NZ those deeper shades show far better in the south where the winters are colder, and in autumn when the leaves fall the ground is a golden carpet.My tiny maples in our small garden are just starting to show some buds.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all those posts!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful fall colors. A pretty time of year.
Such a beautiful tree! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours and shots. The trees that usually have bright colours here seem to be very dull this year but it may be a bit early for them since it has been so warm.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the posts!
Congrats on the longevity of the blog, FG. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are well ahead of us for colour of leaves. It’s a slow start here this year.
That maple tree is a wonder. The colours are slow here.
ReplyDeleteI am always envious of the reds you get in the fall.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I first saw sugar maples in all their glory circa 1970 in NY state. Being from Texas, and young (well, 25) I was stunned and overwhelmed. These photos are most welcome....thanks!
ReplyDeleteOur maples are just starting to turn, of course they aren't sugar maples. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThat tree is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's a huge number of posts considering how much work you put into each one. I'm staying away from public transport at the moment so I'm missing my usual visit to the wonderful Sugar Maple in Cambridge's Botanic Garden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree! I went to school next to an arboretum full of Japanese maples. It was such a joy every autumn. Not such a joy one winter day when my friends and I got lost at dusk (about 3 pm) and it began to snow….
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pics and reaching your blogging milestones. I have probably posted of my foot issues in the past. I am in the queue for foot fusion stemming from an ancient ankle sprain that has come back to haunt me in the past ten years or so.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Thank you for your great pictures. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a dandy tree. What kind of celebration are you planning when you've reached 1,000,000 views? Please keep on posting.
ReplyDeleteYes, those Google Analytics numbers are definitely a big help in keeping one's interest and enthusiasm peaked. Good stuff on the numbers. That is a nicely colored maple alright.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations on all those blog statistics :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post, the colours of Autumn are glorious.
All the best Jan
