By mid-October the red and orange colours were spreading fast in our own back yard. With our own three fairly large Sugar Maples we're getting lots of those orange and red colours. The different fall colours that characterize different species of trees intrigue me, but the brightest red trees I saw were right here in our own back yard.
The brightest leaves seemed to be right in front of our kitchen window.
But outside looking up one of the Sugar Maples I could see it was changing colour quickly.
I kept trying to catch photos of the best coloured leaves.
Meanwhile the canopy of that one Sugar Maple was turning red quickly.
Beyond our back yard I could see one of the two big old sugar Maples in the distance starting to turn red,
Sadly, the other big old Sugar Maple appears to have died. All its leaves are gone, and I fear that it will come down next year. Lots more coloured leaves to come, but first we need to go and see the salmon migrating up the Sydenham River in Owen Sound.
