Glorious Red

Burning Bush (Euonymous alatus)

Every year around this time, I go off with my camera to try and find glorious Fall colours. This year was no exception. For me, what makes the colours glorious is an abundance of red.

So this year, off I went into Montreal and headed up to Parc Mont Royal. To be honest, it was less than impressive. Even Beaver Lake was being drained.

But all was not lost. Here and there, there were reds to be found.
Sometimes a solitary Maple . . .

Sometimes it was a building detail . . .

Sometimes it was Ivy on a fence . . .

Or growing up a wall . . .

And then there are the bushes . . .

While there may not have been an abundance of Glorious colours out there this year, if you looked carefully, you could still find some.

Hope you enjoyed the images.

Montreal's Mont Royal Park

Montrealers are very lucky in having a very large and beautiful park - Mont Royal Park - just minutes from the downtown core.



Mont Royal Park
Took a walk through Mont Royal in Mid October last year. It was just past the peak for the Fall colours. Everywhere you turned you saw gorgeous oranges, reds and golds.


Beaver lake - Mont Royal Park
Beaver Lake looked like something out of fairytale; the bright sunny day making every- thing glow.

It doesn't matter what day of the week or which season, there are always people strolling about, enjoying the peace and quiet, appreciating the beauty of nature.






Hope you've enjoyed visiting Mont Royal Park with me. I'll save a few images for another day.
