Fall colours arrived quickly on the Bruce Peninsula this year and they're not done yet, not even at their peak.

Regular treks on the 250 km route from home to cottage in Tobermory provide an opportunity to watch the progression as hardwoods change into their fiery colour ensemble while birch, aspen and poplar take on their autumn yellow tones to contrast against the rich dark greens of the cedar, pine and spruce.

A foggy fall morning was perfect for a detour on along side-roads with a mind to photograph the essence of this time on the Bruce. Along Emmett Lake Road, there were maple beginning to blaze orange among the mixed forest at roadside.

With windows down, a slowed pace and numerous stops, taking in the ambience set the tone for my day on the Bruce.
