Ingonish, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Finally made it to The Cabot Trail, a breathtaking 298km scenic drive with stunning beauty and exceptionally paved roads. Have long wanted to photograph the change of seasons as I don’t see much of that in Southern California. The colors were beginning their change but I didn’t hit the peak reds I was seeking. Of my eight days, the sun came out for only two. Had to work with the weather I received so found myself capturing muted images like this one. Calm, soothing with a pop of red.

An autumn framed Egypt Falls. 🍂
Of all the times we’ve hiked to this spot, I think this might have been the first time during peak fall colours. Simply magical!

A short walk this morning to look a the colours. The hurricane took some leaves but there are still beautiful trees to be seen. I also love the lilac colour of the yarrow and the way the strawberry vines are intertwined into a spaghetti carpet. #capebreton #fallfoliage #leafpeepers #celticcolours #strawberryvines #yarrow

Starting to see that winter hue in the sky, and what's left of the autumn leaves are likely to be snatched away by tonight's windstorm. While I love all the seasons, they go by way too fast. I'll miss the colours of Fall 🍁🍂🎃🌾
