Today I have more views from Pink Lake in Gatineau Park during my walkabout. With the fall colours, there were a good number of people on the trail, both taking advantage of the NCC shuttles and those driving their own cars.
I came across this little rascal on the trail. He or she was kind enough to oblige me in taking some shots.
This turned out to be my final shot of the trip, as the camera battery reserve went into shut down. I turned and headed back for where I had come, pleased by how many shots I'd managed to take during the day. Tomorrow I'll have more from the Gatineau Hills; I'm adding in this link about meromictic lakes, which includes a list of them around the world.
Beautiful shots and cute rascal! Lol!
ReplyDeleteUm lugar maravilhoso.

Glad your camera waited until you had taken these wonderful pictures before deciding to quit. :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much autumn captured in these photos!
ReplyDeleteVery fine fall colours...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a lovely day for your hike, William!
ReplyDeleteGreat timing as the colors are at their best.
ReplyDeleteYou can see the changes along the shore, some are subtle and some are more brilliant. Very nice.
ReplyDelete@DJan: I knew the spots I particularly wanted to get to first, so getting shots in at Pink Lake, particularly as many as I did, was a bonus.
ReplyDelete@Sandi: it was an ideal day to get into the Hills.
@Italiafinlandia: they were at their peak.
@RedPat: it was one of the finest days of the season.
@Red: they were good.
@Sharon: quite true!
It really is a beautiful lake.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place, the colours are awesome in the sunlight.
ReplyDeleteI like that squirrel.
Another series of beautiful autumn colour William.. interesting re the meromictic lakes ✨
ReplyDeleteInteresting name for the lake!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous autumn colors! I love the reflection on the lake. Beautiful walk. The little squirrel is so cute :-)
ReplyDelete@Lois: it certainly is.
ReplyDelete@Jan: the squirrel was a cutie.
@Grace: yes, there's one on that list not far from where I grew up called Crawford Lake.
@Marie: it is indeed.
@Tamago: I agree!
Beautiful views of the lake. Wonderful photos, William.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery is breathtaking. The lake is not "pink" but is beautiful nonetheless. What a wonderful place to hike or ride bike! We have nothing that compares in this part of the country.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn captures!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,

Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYep, good to see.
ReplyDelete@Bill: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Lowell: this is quite common up here. The Hills are essentially the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains.
@Carol: I certainly thought so.
@Happyone: that it is.
@Revrunner: definitely.
You had a good day for being out on a nature walk, William, and the colors were spectacular too...even if the lake wasn't actually pink :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's an odd name for a lake, as one expects the colour.
DeleteBeautiful shots! Nothing like the colors of fall.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.
DeleteYou introduced me to the term "meromictic" lakes but I wonder if the lake is named after someone because it certainly doesn't look pink to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteMore beautiful views! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteMagnificent!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteSuch gorgeous views, wonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing all of your photographs.
All the best Jan
Thank you!
DeleteI learned something today lol, I never heard of all the terms for lake water...thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteBeautiful views.
ReplyDeleteThat they are.
