Fall in Eastern Canada

Please post your fall colors..........show us the Maple Leaf in all it's glory!

Here's some color from out west taken just a few days ago...

That's the idea, thanks durtcom...how I love those colors! So far the trees here are mainly yellow with a rare red one showing up. I was enjoying the change yesterday but today the wind arrived. :(

Ours are still mostly green, but the odd splashes of yellow are here and there...its coming....

Yippeee!! Thanks ceedub....... I was wondering.

Here's some red. Sun was too bright for a good shot.

We are mostly green still here too. But the oranges and yellows are starting to creep in slowly. We went over the mountain pass this past Friday, and at the summit the trees have all turned. It was pretty actually, with the mixture of evergreens. Give us a couple weeks and it will be the same here. Not going to think about that now though...today it's Sunny, Blue Sky and highs in the high teens. Yippee

What a lovely shade echoes......such a treat for an overcast day! Not that I am trying to rush fall but it's nice to capture the moment. Looking forward to seeing all you warmer zone peeps pictures! :)

Lovely colors echoes and durtcom.
I'm not seeing any color change yet Pam except the trees look a little greener after the rain we had on Friday.

quit bragging! ;).......tho' I know after your stolen prairie summer your flora and fauna will be grateful for the rain!

What a lovely picture of your trip you painted OldFlowerGirl. :)

Pam, still mostly green here too but some are starting to change...now that the camera's back from its vacation with DH I'll take it outside and have a look.

Yahooo....I'm looking forward to seeing a forest of red!! :D (and close-ups too!)

A few of our trees are turning red here..but slowly..
We seem to having an wonderful run of warm temps here right now..it gets between 24 and 27 degrees most days..I was at a park on Lake Ontario on Wed. and there were girls in bikinis and people wearing shorts and enjoying the last warm days. Yesterday I stopped and got an ice cream cone.....my fav is Pralines and Cream..wandered looking in the shop windows as I ate it.
Make the most of these beautiful days. Winter will come.........LOL
My Sumac is just starting to get a few red leaves.

Can't find the pic I took recently..this is it earlier in the season..I'll take another pic of the red leaves soon.

Found it!

Thank you Starzz! This is such a treat to see the gradual change of everyone's gardens. :)

Big change in just a couple of days..here she is this morning
Glad you are enjoying.......

Beautiful shoking pink leaves, what is the name of this plant?

Maple trees in the front yard starting to turn this misty morning..

Hello Gumlla,
This plant is called Staghorn Sumac..
I bought this one at a garden centre..but they grow wild all along our highways ..it is lovely to see them in the fall.
If you look on the ground to the left side of this plant you can see it has babies growing under the trees. Morning glories are on the arbour made of apple branches.

Cheers,
Carol

Well tree foliage color has changed significantly during this week so weather permitting I'll be out in the hills this coming weekend to get some photos :)

:D Yippeeeeeeeee!! :D

Love seeing the mist in your pictures as well Starzz....please keep posting!

Well so much for the procrastinators club. Was going to take pics on Sunday then well you know what happens to days of our lives - they disappear with a lot of items still on the job list. Then monday we had gale force winds and now I will have to take pictures of the leave mulch for you LOL

LOL.....I'm looking forward to seeing them Lynn!

We had a frost last night..a light one..the grass is white over the open area...time to bring in the tender plants. I looked back in my journal..we had hard frost the same time last year.
....and so it ends for another year............
Time to plant the few bulbs that I have bought.
I already have little ideas for next season...........

Cheers,
Carol

I guess it is inevitable, isn't it. We are still "hangin in" down here in the Southern Interior. Gettin' close though, two nights ago we dropped ot +3. :(

My goodness, Carol, your yard looks like a park! Beautiful.

I agree, your yard is gorgeous. It's a good inspirational picture for me, with our much-in-need-of-attention yard....that's the kind of look I'd like to restore ours to. Frost, though....hmmm....thanks for the heads-up! Time to get busy.

Shannon

You do have a lovely restful looking yard Starzz. Looking at your picture reminds me to get out and enjoy the remaining days that we will have.

Yesterday was a rather rainy day but today it was beautiful again so out into the hills I went for a nice short10k hike.
Fall foliage is not ready yet but here's a photo anyways.

Beautiful photo Milan, the colours, content and composition. it's worthy, IMHO to be entered into a photo contest.

Post more!

Linda in Victoria

:D What a beautiful part of Canada you live in Milan! As Linda has hinted we are certainly looking forward to seeing more of the Quebec countryside.

WOW! so who's pond is that and what is its name? It's beautiful and ditto on the comments on the photo quality.

Glad that you folks like the photo, I don't like it because I smudged my polarizing filter when I put it on and that made part of the tree line in the back blurry (Grrrmbl should take more time and check lenses :).
Photo was taken in Mont-Saint-Bruno provincial park and the little lakes name is 'Lac des Bouleaux'.

Milan

It is gorgeous, Milan. Thanks for posting it.

Shannon

Stunning scenery! I'd love to see that out of my living room window every day. Nice job, Milan. I am gonna make that trip to Quebec for sure now, and it looks like the time to visit is the autumn. Thanks for sharing.

Donna, if you do come to visit you can line up a whole bunch of us to drop in on!

Shannon

That would be fantastic Shannon. Some day I just may have to do that. :D

not sure this fits in but late summer in western canada....not as many colourful leaves as in the east :(

Sandy130, is that Mt. Baker in the distance?

We've been having such lovely weather lately, once the fog clears... They're saying rain & showers for the rest of the week.

Linda in Victoria

Lovely shot, Sandy. Don't think we've met. Nice to know another British Columbian. :)

Hi MG and Oldflowergirl....

Nice to meet you both...usually, i am just lurking around here....Your right, the weather has been so beautiful...i dont want the rain again!.....yes that is Mt. Baker in the background with Sumas prairie in front but there was lots of haze around it today....yikes, maybe i should say pollution?
