A Little Autumn Jaunt

On Friday we did get ourselves and out automobile in gear and took our almost annual, little colour trip. We passed some nice stands of colour here and there, but passed is the operative word. Sometimes we just have appreciate glimpses as we drive by because there is nowhere to stop.

Despite those colourful sections, much of our usual route was past peak. For example: we have stopped at this spot many times over the past few years, but this is the least amount of colour that we have seen. Nevertheless, I like the photos well enough.



From there we drove along a very woodsy road. Here and there, we spotted some colour back off the road in the bush although the first photo was more or less along the road.





We came out of the more woodsy section where there is a fork. We always keep going to the right, but the copse between the two roads is rather nice.


Now look at what Adobe's latest version of Photoshop can do — eliminate wires. We we more or less always could do this, but it could be quite a procedure. In this case, I just told the app to remove wires, and it did just that in probably a minute or less. It didn't remove the two poles: both to the left and one very small in the distance. It was another step to remove the poles but not a difficult one.


Even though we were late in the season and did not see autumn at its best, it was a grand day to be out and about. Besides, we have already had the trip to the sugar bush, and we'll still be seeing colour here and there for a little while.

What a great feature Photoshop has added in removing those wires, which are always troublesome. The colors were quire spectacular and hopefully we will get out to enjoy some this week.

Beautiful autumnal colours. My version of photoshop is probably as old as the software itself!

4th morning with heavy frost here and the leaves are dropping.

They are pretty much passed prime on my patch and down to the west of us. BUT. Daughter and I were down to Cobden yesterday. The colors along our route on Hwy 17 were just awesome.

Loved the first photo, as one pretty tree stands out well against the neighbors who already lost their leaves.

The golden trees in the light are spectacular. There is always something to be found and appreciated!

Nice light on the forest floor.

Still fabulous even past the best time.

Ontario Hydro is going to be even more upset with you than the hockey team.

But, yes. Not a great year. I only found one panorama with enough red in it to show.

Good one, Mary. 🤓

Autumn comes with beautiful colours!

There wasn't as much color, but each shot was beautifully composed with a steady hand.
