Well, another season for fall foliage is winding down as wet and windy weather takes its toll on the trees that have not yet lost their leaves. One area that is still at its peak is the Halifax/Dartmouth area where there are plenty of reds, oranges and yellows in parks and along city streets.
I was in Cape Breton over the last two weekends and travelled both the Eastern Shore and the Sunrise Trail going to and from.
As usual, the leaves were brilliant in some places, past their prime in others and, in some, still not their best.
Along the coastal Marine Drive on the Eastern Shore, there was little to photograph until I turned up #7 highway at Sherbrooke and followed the St. Mary's River toward Antigonish.
The leaves through Mount Thom between Truro and New Glasgow have pretty well had it, but there was still lots to photograph between New Glasgow and Antigonish, also from there to the Canso Causeway.
Since, as the expression goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, take a look at some of the more notably fall scenery I've photographed lately. This is just a small sampling. If you would like to view more, click here.
