Parc naturel du mont Bélair




Fall colours seem to appear first in the forest under-story. Paulette and I walked in the Parc naturel du mont Bélair yesterday, a mere 13 km directly north from our home.

It was cloudy-bright in the open and cloudy-dim in the forest with light periods of rain. Perfect light for capturing the saturated fall colours of the ferns, Hobblebush (Viburnum alnifolium) and the purple pitcherplant (Sarracenia purpurea). The trees continue strongly green with the odd touches of red, yellow and orange. Another two weeks and we'll be treated to the full force of fall's splendor!
