Sunday Stills- landscapes


While pumpkins are not exactly fall foliage, they are still part of the landscape!

This massive cottonwood tree is just starting to turn color, but the field has been turned ready for fall planting.

Along the shores of Kootenay Lake there is a little fall color, and snow topped mountains give the air that crisp fall feel.
If I can find my camera this morning, I will add a couple more that I took on our trip to Nelson yesterday; the fall foliage was spectacular there- and I'll put another comment on Sunday Stills website if I do.
Okay, I found my camera so here we go! First, this is what we found at the summit of the Skyway; appropriately enough, Summit Lake.


Looks more like winter foliage! Then we dropped down off the mountain and saw beautiful tamaracks lighting up the mountainside with their golden glow.

When we got to Nelson, I had to keep stopping to take photos because it was so beautiful! Like this maple tree.....
and this one.....

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Wow! This vista of Kootenay Lake shores and Summit Lake are amazingly beautiful. With scenes like these, who need New England?
