Lovely bright pics. I see you had some sunshine at the W/E, unlike here! Here's my Acer which I've had for years and whose leaves usually shrivel and go brown just as they're beginning to turn. Not this year though!  |

WOW TT!! Stunning photos! Are you finding it's a "good" Fall this year? Despite the cr*p summer here our Autumn colours are specially good.

Hi Suparuthie. Yes, I think we are seeing a much better fall display this year than we did last year. I don't know what makes the difference; more rain in summer; less rain in summer; a hot summer; dogs baying at the moon or what. Last year we had a hot dry summer and a lot of trees were almost going from green to losing their leaves without much change in colour; others were going into colour a bit off their usual timing. This summer we had quite a bit of rain, but September was fairly dry and mild. Who knows.

OB that sorbus is absolutely smashing. Those are all great pics folks, isn't autumn just so colourful in the countryside, even more spectacular than in summer. |

Well Plocket, if you can get the Tardis this time next Year we could go and stay with TT and his wife for a bit. He could show us round!!! (Even though he's in Canada, not the US).

Not to worry. The 1000 islands area is right at the US/Canada border so no problem at all. I'll be the tour guide and provide the refreshments. |

Oh Dutchy how very kind you are. I'm glad you like it, I've taken some cuttings (could'nt resist  ) so I'm hoping to have some of my own next year. No idea where I shall put it if it grows. ;D |

Post by torontotrini on Oct 16, 2008 18:38:03 GMT
No Dutchy; I wasn't flying low <smileylaugh> The "overhead" view pics were taken either from the view tower or the bridge. You can see both in a couple of the pics. Although it would have been nice though to have been able to go up in a balloon or light plane or something like that.

LNG I have a self sowed version growing in my pavers and lead it along the path. In case you can't find it anything to grow up on try the ground ;D. TT here I was imagening you flying over that wonderfull landscape and feeling but a tad green about that. Oh well having a good look from up that tower or bridge must have been real good too. Somehow capturing such an immense landscape on photo never gets close to being there. So lucky you  |
