Sep 23 2024 - Autumn Colours

 

t seems like it is still summer here in Niagara with recent high temperatures.  But it is Autumn and the Florida Dogwood out front has turned red and orange.  Across the street, the European Walnut is yellow.

We are on the warmest side of Ontario, so that means the colours further north are about to burst.  There is enough time to plan for a day trip up north in the next two or so weeks.

Here's the status at discovermuskoka.ca 

  • Gravenhurst: 5%  Very small pockets of colour here and there – green predominates
  • Bracebridge: 15% – Very small pockets of colour here and there – green predominates
  • Huntsville/Lake of Bays: 10 – 20% – Very small pockets of colour here and there – green predominates
  • Muskoka Lakes: 5% – Very small pockets of colour here and there – green predominates
  • Georgian Bay: 10% – Very small pockets of colour here and there – green predominates

"These dates are our best guess for when to see the fall colours this year. Please note, these are just educated guesses based on historical trends. There are many factors that affect when the fall colours will be best for viewing, and these conditions and dates may change slightly from year to year.

  • Early fall colour viewing opportunities: September 22 – September 28
  • Peak maple fall colour viewing opportunities: September 29 – October 10
  • Peak golden encore fall colour viewing opportunities: October 11 – 20"

Check out the website as it gives the best roads to drive in the fall.  It is HERE.

I found this wood abstract in the Lightroom database.  It was in Monterey, California.
