On a dull day, it was time to head back up to the woods to check out the colour, which was not outstanding by any means. Much green remains in the woodland although a fair bit of it is yellowing. Any orange we saw lay in the distance and up higher. It was pleasant enough but a long way from spectacular. Maybe it won't get brilliant in there at all, and that's okay because it is still peaceful and enjoyable.
Orange in the distance and up higher.
In places there is old fencing. It's just there and serves no purpose now, but I thought I would note it as a bit of a curiosity in passing.
An oval of low branches and leaves by the trail caught my attention. I like the contrast with the vertical trunks although it doesn’t show up as well as I would like
We were surprised to see skis marking the entrance to a side trail. I suppose that tells us that it is a good spot for cross country skiing in winter.
And that was our outing for one day. We must check it again in the next week or so. If nothing else, it is a very nice place to stroll about.
The fence looks like it was for cattle years ago. That was the typical type of fencing used in this area at least. I still run across it a lot in my hikes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trails, I envy you!
Those muted colors are typical of our fall foliage. We don't get carried away! No sugar maples.
ReplyDeleteStill a lush green here but it won't be long before things start turning colors as it was a chilly 51 F here this morning. I was excited to see that it was too cold for the gnats which have been horrendous this fall.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk in the woods! You all taking photos of each other was cute! I did like your "oval of leaves against the vertical trunks." It works.
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- peaceful and enjoyable. And quite lovely too. It has a lovely golden glow.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to think of skiing when the sun is shining and the leaves are still on the trees.
ReplyDeleteYou have really nice areas for walks. This place looks peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAs we live right here on the edge of Algonquin, our colors are pretty much peak right now. We are heading down to Rockingham, Quadville area on the weekend to take lots of photos. Folks need to know they don't need to go into the Park to see the beauty,
ReplyDeleteThat hill down to Quadville should be pretty.
DeleteYou've been forest bathing! It's good for you.
ReplyDeleteLeaves are changing here and falling too. We finally got some rain. An inch so far in the rain gauge.
What a nice shady trail, and looks soft underfoot. We've just got mostly rocky ones here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your walk. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love the low branches shot; they are almost ghostly!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go for a walk in those woods even without a lot of colour.
ReplyDeleteLovely. The autumnal leaves are really the highlight of the season. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I want to take my walk here. This is a gorgeous place.
ReplyDeleteI like this walk in the woods you took us on. I would enjoy that path. There isn't much color in our trees yet but a there are a few that are quite pretty and it is still very warm, but rainy today.
