Where I was, yesterday
Yesterday was the first time this year that I managed to get out along the whole length of the Elbow Falls Trail - really an on the spur of the moment thing. The weather called for some sun and some cloud, which sounded good. After the two heavy snowfalls on 9 and 10 September, I wasn't sure what to expect before I reached the beginning of the mountains, but every bit of snow had disappeared, except on the mountain peaks. The furthest point of my drive was Forgetmenot Pond, one of my favourite places to go. This drive is the only one I will do on my own and it only takes about an hour to get from home to the Pond. This photo was taken at a place just before the Pond, along the gravel road leading to Cobble Flats. In the distance, you can see the main road.
On the return drive, I called in at a place not far from the pond, where I have found a few mushrooms in previous years, and managed to find several that were in good enough condition to photograph. Other than that, I didn't see a whole lot during the few hours I was out. The scenery is spectacular and there were patches of trees that have turned yellow. Some of the trees looked as though their leaves were past their fall prime, and I came away wondering if I was a bit too early or a bit too late to see the best of the fall colours. The final place I called in at was Maclean Pond, but the light was fading somewhat and so I didn't feel like going more than a few steps into the forest. I had just got back into my car when I happened to look up just in time to see a family of beautiful Bluejays not far from the parking lot. Managed to get a few shots, but distant and not as sharp as they should have been. A nice way to end the day, though.
