More fall foliage

A few pictures from my last Nova Scotia hike with John Maly at Crowbar Lake on the Eastern Shore. As usual, click to enlarge.

Lakefront colours - The trail we hiked ran around two lakes and several streams.

Low lying trees across the lake. The trail later ran through this grove.

Reflections in a small pond near the trail head.

Silver birch and maples - iconic Nova Scotia trees.

Nova Scotia Colours and Grapes

Another non-cruising post, but I could not resist posting a few pictures from Nova Scotia. The following were taken during a short hike to a waterfall near New Germany in Nova Scotia.

Christmas trees and fall foliage

I am currently staying at my parent's place in Barss Corner. It is nearing grape harvest time and today we even had a little sleety snow to let us know winter is near!

And a gratuitous but cute picture of my brother and niece with her first undies :)
