Fall Colours In The Capital

Today I begin a series on fall colours. I begin with this shot taken on Victoria Island in mid-September,  with the first hints of fall colours showing themselves.

Other kinds of trees that were turning a golden yellow.

Another day in the Glebe, I took this shot. It's been a dry summer, and that's had an effect on the trees and the autumn colours.

This is close to home for me.

I stopped by the University of Ottawa one day, and this caught my eye.

Later, I was passing towards Major's Hill Park, and took this shot of Parliament Hill. Some hints of fall colours were to be seen on the steep slope.

In the park itself, more colours.

This shot looks towards the great rise of the Gatineau Hills over on the Quebec side of the river. I decided my visit to those hills would have to be early, given what I could see from here.

These bushes had turned a bright red at City Hall when I stopped by.

And these trees can be found at the east end of Lansdowne Park.
