Fall colours have all but left 'the Bruce' now that leaves are mostly down ...

... but oh what a wonderful smell those poplar leaves make when they lay think and wet carpeting the ground. Different than the smell of spruce so familiar on so many walks through and near the forests at the cottage, the smell of wet poplar leaves signal the end of fall. Musty and pungent they are my kind of aroma therapy.

It's almost time for me to place my print order for 2023 calendars ... I do a limited run mostly for family and friends who have expressed interest over the years or those who I gift them to for Christmas / New Year.

 

I had a difficult time selecting the images this year, for whatever reason. But it's done now and this week's image is a tych-collage of the pages as I have them prepared to upload to the printing service.

 

 

All of the images this year were made on the Bruce Peninsula during 2021. As is my custom, each image was made during the month* that it represents in the calendar ( * with perhaps some minor exceptions).

 

I've not found it worth while to take orders and deal with the logistics of payment and delivery but I will order a handful of "extras" should anyone be insistent that they purchase one. Contact me via email (address in 'About Me') and I will quote price and delivery if practical.

 

Here's to another year of imagery from my 'Photographic Journey'

Leaves may have mostly turned and fallen to the ground, but I still have plenty of fall colour images from 2022 in the library and waiting to be shared.  Knowing that late fall and winter bring a time of tones, I'll linger a while longer on images from what was a wonderful fall for photography.

I marvel at the variety of colours in autumn roadside scenes - these from somewhere along a Puslinch backroad.

October has come and gone. With it, the vibrant colours of Fall in Southern Ontario have faded, all but gone for another year. Yet they live on, in my memory and images ...

 

Inspired by my recent ' Puslinch Autumn Roads ' series, I took a drive along another favoured backroad, this one on the Bruce Peninsula. Although I missed peak colour by perhaps a week, conditions were overcast and wet from an early morning rain, just right for a bit of fall atmosphere.

 

    

Fall colour on 'the Bruce' is mostly shades of green, vibrant yellows and golds. Jack Pine, cedars, spruce, birch and poplar now dominate it's forests.

    

If you get off the main highway and County roads, you can find areas where the underbrush stirs with reds and oranges dabbing colour into the scene.

    

For those willing to go still a bit further, there are hardwoods, maple and oak to be found in full celebration before their seasonal respite.

The scene above, still beautiful nearing saturation fatigue, must have been chromatic overload just a days earlier.

A new series is developed. Follow along on Facebook, Instagram and Flickr for more as I take you along ' A Bruce Autumn Road '
