Mark took his first interprovincial trip when Feng and I decided to check out the fall colours in Gatineau Park, in Quebec. We drove around for half an hour—I’m always impressed by how huge the “park” is!—and made it to Pink Lake, a popular scenic lookout around the eponymous lake (which is not pink).
The fall rhapsody is gorgeous this year. The leaves actually stayed on the trees longer than usual and turned into lovely yellow-rust tones.
As for Mark, he slept through, snuggled against me and oblivious to the beauty around him. Ungrateful brat or blasé traveller…?
Look at that beautiful family in such a beautiful place!
Congratulations
Thank you Guillermo!
Love the last pic 🙂
It was the first pic of the three of us together 😉
Hey Zhu!
Mark is definitely a blasé traveler :).
I also love the Autumn; its colours and scent. I know this season represents the end of the joyful Summer and the prelude to slumbered Winter, but I love it just the same. It is just another phase of life (like the one you are experiencing now).
The three of you are so incredibly cute and Mark est trés trés mignon. You seem happy and I am happy for your happiness.
Cheers
Merci! Mark est vraiment mignon, c’est vrai. Like you, I like Fall… at least I learned to like it here in Canada.
Ah, first family photo! Looking awesome, all three of you!
And now you remind me of one thing I miss living in the US Northeast. The fall foliage here is not as impressive as there. Some theories I heard is that it gets colder here faster than there, so the leaves don’t have enough time to be pretty, or something like that.
Yeah, I remember fall in Europe–not as exciting! Spring is nicer in Europe than in N. America though.
I just love this place. We went to King Mountain, close to Pink Lake, very recently and it was just beautiful, as usual. I’m sure Mark enjoyed it in his own way 😉
We are lucky to have the Parks here, aren’t we!
Beautiful! I love fall. I’d say Mark is blase, he doesn’t want to appear TOO excited when he knows he has some incredible adventures ahead of him.
I think that was it 😆
What a beautiful setting for your first pic of the three of you!
Yep, we were lucky!
That’s such a great first photo of the 3 of you together! 😀
I like it too, the setting was perfect!
The colours there are simply magnificent during autumn!!
I have just discovered your blog and love it. 🙂 I am the opposite: I am a Canadian settling into France (and vying for French citizenship). Your emigration stories are emphatically felt. 🙂

I hope you can fulfill your French dream! Don’t you wish we could exchange passports? Would make life easier, wouldn’t it!
Gorgeous colors – what a perfect fall day!
We are lucky to have this amazing fall rhapsody in Ontario!
