Fall Colours

Another photo heavy blog this time. I haven't had much time to work on the blog in recent weeks, but will continue to post when I can.

The fall colours are at their peak here in Nova Scotia, so I've headed out on the roads with camera in tow. On Tuesday, we headed out on an 800 km drive up to Joggins (near the New Brunswick border) via Parsborro. Coming back through the Wentworth Valley was stunning, even though we reached it as the light was dwindling. Alas I took no photos during the trip - great photo ops did not coincide with safe pull offs. I've been wandering around the property with the camera though and took it along yesterday for the drive home from the dentist. I was rewarded with several photo ops on some back country lanes (where I could safely pull over).

The side of the road:

In the forest:

on my aunt's property, across the road from us.

The 'backyard':

After a fall storm. A lovely sunny morning.

Along the driveway:



Lots of maple leaves on the trees (and on the driveway)

The garden:

The roses are still blooming here! Flowering kale & cabbage, I think.

Cape Blomidon:

from the Wolfville ridge. This is probably the most photographed & recognized scene in the Annapolis Valley (when you see the cape you know that you are home).

Country Lanes:

Vault Rd & Clem Rd.
