Especially since they only happen once a year for a week or two.

Ok, I didn't know that those fall colors are around for such a short time.

There is always a peak period, which probably lasts about a week, but the whole period is probably a month. Different trees peak at different times. Right now it's the reds of the maples peaking,

later it will be the yellows of the birches and aspens, and the orange of the tamaracks.

I know nothing of what you speak this first "$%@&" . I'm sure we don't have anything like that here. I fired up the wood stove, for the first time Oct.1 so, the cool weather is coming.

Hey Norm - terrific shots. The only downer is that it seems like only a few weeks ago that we kicked off the previous autumn. I guess it's true that for geezers my age, Christmas comes every two months.

Great colors - and looks like they are really drawing the tourists!

(Our fall colors are just barely starting at the higher elevations, and still mostly green here in the valley...)

Ya, the joys of old age. When I was 8, a summer was a lifetime, and the school years was a couple of life times.

A tour bus every five minutes. 30-40 per bus, 10 am to 3 pm, = a couple thousand people... plus all the cars. When the colours are over here, we can go south for a while, to see then down there. Our elevation is 800 feet higher than Toronto so most of Ontario is a valley for us.

The colour mix in that second image is almost unbelievable... thanks for sharing this wonderful time of year with us all.
