A country road in fall colours

A not too inspiring photo, but wanted to post it to mark the season that starts the day after tomorrow, 23 September 2014. Yesterday afternoon, I did a short drive SW of the city, in search of some fall colours. This particular road seems to be where I often find the "best" splash of colour. Even so, it was a little disappointing here, too. I'm finding that the best of the colour is over in most of the places I've been. In the distance, you can just make out the dark ribbon of road that follows the undulating hills. A very faint mountain peak is on the horizon.

We are having beautiful weather at the moment, with bright sunshine and bright blue skies. It's 10°C this morning, but it's supposed to get up to 24°C this afternoon. So far, it looks like we have a pleasant week coming up, too. Sure beats the two back-to-back snowstorms we had on 9 and 10 September! City streets are still lined with piles of broken tree limbs that have been removed from the thousands of trees damaged by the snowstorms that have been cut down, waiting to be removed. What a huge task this is going to be!
