DISMAL FALL SCENERY

       Scenery this fall is kind of ragged and pale. The colors are paler and many of the leaves have been damaged by the very dry summer we had. Trees shut down because of the dryness. Many of the leaves have brown or black spots which indicates damage to the leaves in the summer.

      I was out to one of my favorite places...Michael Obrien Wetlands. It's an artificial wetland developed to treat storm water before it enters the river system.

     Ordinarily it is beautiful in the fall.

  1. Darn! I'm sorry you're not getting the gorgeous fall colors that you usually get, Red. I hope spring will be better.

  2. I love the Sikh gentleman with his blue turban! What a great shot. Sorry the colors aren't better -- maybe they'll deepen when a little more time passes? (Everything is still mostly green here.)

    1. Some areas may have more color. I'm going out sat Am so I'll see what I can find.

  3. Oh, that is disappointing. I am not sure what it will be like here as we’re just getting started. I am hoping for the weather to improve so we have a few nice days when we can run about and catch some views.

  4. August was dry here too and it was questionable as to what colour we’d have this year. Fiona pruned a bit though!

    1. Yes, it's actually an artificial wet land set up to treat storm water.

  6. I think it's going to be a season of subdued colors here as well. Now I'm wondering why.

    1. I think the foliage had a rough summer with the heat.

  7. Too bad about the dryness and lack of color. Fall is usually so beautiful where you live.

  8. We're getting the same muted colors here in PA we well. But let's not call them drab or ragged or pale. Let's just say they are "subtle" and "pastel." Nature has many faces, but all of them are beautiful in their own way!

  11. It's a shame you're not getting the foliage you are used to this time of year.

  12. It's much the same around here. Things are just turning brown and falling off the trees. :-(

    1. I'm sure many locations will be colorful. I'm sure if I traveled around here I'd find some great color.

  14. We may be getting a little moisture tomorrow, but not much. We hope we will get fall color, but so far not much.

  15. some nice scenery despite the lack of Fall colour. We are still in summer mode here and breaking records around the province.

  16. seems like all the rains you have in regular summers were driven to our country as we had rains constantly for three months almost ,no such record available for earlier strangely .
