Autumn in Homestead Park again, and the Canadian Maple tree finally gained its autumn red colour a few days ago.
Probably one of the most impressive trees in the park when it changes colour, but sadly the orange / red will not have lasted long. A big storm last night is likely to have stripped off many of the leaves. York was quite fortunate that winds only reached 50-60 mph (80-90 kph), while places further north had winds close to 100 mph (160kph).
This shot is post number 2000. It has taken a lot longer than it should have to get to this point, but we finally made it. Thank you all for your help and encouragement along the way!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The winds have now moderated, we had a brief snowfall last night which has almost all gone now, and by Tuesday temperatures are forecast to be up to around 11C, so a constant change in the weather at the moment.
Lovely colours, so bright and warm
I hope your winds have died down.
