We came back right in time for Eastern Canada’s famous gorgeous fall colours!

After a few weeks in urban China, where the streets are packed night and day and where you see more animals on your plate than in the wild, a simple walk on the pathway in our neighbourhood felt incredibly unique.

I spotted several squirrels, a rabbit, a snake (?!) and hundreds of yellow, red and orange leaves, covered in tiny raindrops. Sure, it was a rainy day… but it was worth getting the camera and my hair wet.

    Oh, your pictures make me think of getting a better camera; I love your close-up focus shots of the leaves especially!

    Absolutely stunning photos of the autumn leaves! I have missed gall for a few years living living in Australia, but now living in Korea I’m happy to have it back in my life. You’ve captured it perfectly!

      Does Korea have fall colours as well? Also, Australia… I’m so jealous!

    That’s what I missed the most during your chinese trip: the gorgeous nature pictures!

      Ah, yes, China is more about cities and people than nature (or you have to travel far to the West!).
