Autumn in the "Forest City"
Feel free to show your Autumn peeks here as well... I went for a Thanksgiving bikeride this afternoon and took some shots around my neighborhood of some our trees that have turned color. We are called the "Forest City" because we have more trees than you can imagine! Here's some October peeks... Looking forward to seeing how pretty Autumn is where other people live too... : ) Last edited by The Hollyberry Lady : 10-11-2010 at 09:40 AM. Reason: damn spelling!!! |

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Guess I should show my "Amythest Beautyberry" shrub also, as a definite part of Autumn color...

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
More Autumn in my own living room!
I grew this little Japanese Red Maple from seed a bit ago but it remained green for the longest time. Recently it's begun to turn red! Here's a shot I took of it today... : ) |

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Nice pics! You might have lots of trees, but Winnipeg actually has the largest urban forest park in Canada, along with the largest urban Elm forest in Canada. You get more fall colour than we do, though!

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Wow, I'd sure love to see some shots of beautiful Manitoba too, if you get a chance Kevin. Those forests sound fabulous!
Gonna show more pics soon but hope others will as well... : ) |

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Beautiful shots Hollyberry . I'll post some shortly since we're a few weeks behind you up there in the frozen tundra!
I wish we had all the sugar maples you do down here... always loved them. |

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Yup, they are scarce here too, not because of the climate, but because they were quite invasive and people just "took care" of 'em.

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Sherry,
I'm happy to know that you are enjoying the fall colors months ahead of us. Bob is a few weeks behind you, and I'm about a month or more behind you. The first time I discovered the beauty of fall in North America was at Stony Brook, NY. I couldn't believe how red or orange those leaves turned. In North Georgia, the mountains in Helen City, two hours north of Atlanta, would be completely in red, yellow, or orange in two weeks; it was quite a spectacular sight the only time I visited Helen. Thank you for showing us how beautiful Canada, or Forest City, is this time of year. Rae :

Re: Autumn in the "Forest City"
Hey yeah...since when is my name Shelly, Ante?!
Funny because all my life I've been correcting people about that and saying... "It's SHERRY not shelly! Then still there's others that insist my name is spelled Cherry. Anyway thanks for the compliments on my pics. I really love the colors too. : ) |
