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.
It rains a lot here and it’s also very windy…I haven’t seen any colour change for the trees near my house, but I hope Danish fall is as nice as Canadian fall.
So beautiful Zhu!! I love your pictures.
Down here all we get is cooler temperatures and shorter days. Oh and less humidity. And no tourists of course. Except for the snowbirds 🙂

Such a beautiful, colourful season, isn’t it? Leading us gently into those winter months – all that white snow.

Great pictures Zhu!!! Looks soooo beautiful
As always, I like your pictures. And yes, not only does it smell like fall, it feels like fall! I had a fleece sweater today and still I felt like I needed a coat in addition to that!

ohhh! in the bottom left photo, those brown things: if you break them in half, each half is like a combination seed-and-wing. when you throw one up in the air, it spins down to the ground. i don’t know what they are really called, but we used to call them helicopters when i was growing up.

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

@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 😆 And also, we had nuts with us 😆
@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…
