The difference in colour


Fall in British Columbia is different than it is in Ontario, where I grew up.  The fall colours here are deep green with brillant yellows.  At first I missed the reds and oranges that I was used to back east but eventually I grew to appreciate the unique fall beauty of the West.  The picture above is from my living room window. I love this view even though the trees have taken over my glimpse of the lake.  

I feel extra blessed though when I look out my kitchen window and see the view below.  The resort I live in has planted maple trees along it's streets.  I now have red and orange leaves right outside my door just like it is back east. The photo doesn't show it well but take my word for it... the colours are rich and beautiful.


I hope if you have autumn where you are that it is filled with abundant beauty and joy.
My VIP mention for this post is the Art Biz blog.  It's a great blog to help to help with your questions about promoting your art.

    Bonjour,
    En ce moment aussi chez moi, l'automne a habillé les arbres de couleurs multicolores... On sent que si les températures viennent à descendre que toutes ces belles feuilles vont s'envoler pour faire place à l'hiver...
    Gros bisous et merci pour ces belles photos... de chez toi.

    Gorgeous view of the lake you have Bonnie! I too love the fall colors and missed the changes the most when I lived in WA. Beautiful weather there too but I also missed those glorious reds and oranges of the autumn leaves.

    You certainly are blessed with lovely views!! Your wish is true for me because the colours of Autumn are spectacular,all I have to do is drive down the motorway or the nearest park.Most streets are lined with all kinds of blazing coloured trees.

    Yes! I love fall colours too. And somehow the sky is so much more deeply blue in this season, don't you find? Summer is really washed out in comparison.

    Wow you have beautiful views all around - they must be an inspiration. here in N. Carolina we have a lot of the brilliant reds and burgundys - they truly are a miracle.
