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 '
