Smells Like Fall…

10 October 2009By Zhu 11 Comments

After a rainy summer, a short Indian summer and a few more weeks of rain, it finally smells like Fall. Temperatures are lower and the leaves are finally changing colors.

Today, it finally stopped raining so we drove to Bate Island, a small island on the Ottawa River right between Ontario and Québec, to take some pictures. We were not alone, as many little animals were “shopping” for food before the winter.

    @Bluefish – I hope for you too! Canadian Fall is quite unique.

    @Agnes – Thank you! How cold does it get over there?

    @Beth – It is a beautiful season, my favorite after summer. The Indian summer and then the cool Fall are special to me… we need the transition before winter too.

    @Nigel – Thank you!

    @Linguist-in-Waiting – I know, it’s colder than I’d like here too. I refuse to wear my winter coat so early in the season!

    @Seraphine – I played with “hélicoptères” too when I was a kid in France. Between us, I still do :-)

    @Sidney – I am sweet :lol: And also, we had nuts with us :lol:

    @dodong flores – Thank you so much!

    @Max Coutinho – 30C? Lucky you! I had no idea that it was still summer over there. I guess Portugal is pretty South…

    Hey Zhu :D !

    So so beautiful!! I love autumn!
    But here in Portugal “it still smells like summer”: it is hot hot hot (30ºC), but this is normal here. Our autumn will come in November or so.

    Happy autumn for you, girl :D !

    Cheers
