Posted by Bill Ault (GBA, Canada) on 3 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Last long weekend of the summer for us and the leaves are changing colour this can only mean one thing - autumn is on the way... this is from along the Red Wing hiking trail at the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary near Morrisburg, Ontario.

Great mirror image Bill, but more importantly is the color of the trees, getting a nice Autumn tint.

@Observing: a tint indeed with much more to come when the birch and ash add their yellows to the mix..

Beautiful reflection! I love the colours. Sadly it's still very much summer here in Japan.

@bisha: As much as I love the seasonal changes another few (or more) months of warmth before winter would very welcome...
