It's fall colors time so here's my card in the hat.
I recently spent some time chasing fall colors up in the Canadian rockies. We hit the jackpot as far as timing our arrival, big hats off to William McIntosh for timing the trip just right, which included a last minute schedule change to arrive one week later in September trying to time it just right. To make things more interesting Mother Nature decided to bring in winter at the same time celebrating with several snow flurries and an avalanche on the hike from the lodge to the campground, thats after the ranger warned us to stay away from the upper meadow where a mother grizzly and her two cubs had been spotted foraging for food, then after some other informal information about the weather and the fact that they had to shut-off the water to the campground because the pipes where freezing, our next question was where do we get water now, to which they replied the stream at the back of the campground......In the upper meadow!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, I am always grateful for your views, comments, faves, and support, they are truly appreciated!! Have a great day my friends!! :)
Always Respect Mother Nature And Your Fellow Man, So:

Downy and Hairy woodpeckers, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Mar 8, 2021.
In the yard on a dying ash tree- emerald ash borer, the stared at each other from opposite sides of the tree.
The larger of two look alikes, the Hairy Woodpecker is a small but powerful bird that forages along trunks and main branches of large trees. It wields a much longer bill than the Downy.
Downy's bills are small , almost thorn-like.
Downy - Dryobates pubescens
Hairy - Dryobates villosus

Spahats Creek Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park between Kamloops and Valemount, British Columbia, Canada, tumbles 73 meters into a deep canyon.
We're back on the streets of Launceston for the next few days. Inside this antiques store are some interesting objects. But that reflected power pole does look surprisingly like a crucifix.
Le parc provincial de la Rivière Bleue est un parc naturel situé dans la Province Sud de Nouvelle-Calédonie sur le territoire de la commune de Yaté.
Le parc couvre les bassins versants des rivières Bleue (qui lui donne son nom), Blanche et du Mois de Mai, deux cours d'eau qui alimentent le lac de Yaté depuis la construction du barrage hydroélectrique de Yaté en 1958. Une partie des rivages et de l'étendue du lac font partie du parc, avec une importante « forêt noyée ».
Le parc concentre deux types de milieux typiques des paysages néo-calédoniens : le maquis minier (sur péridotites) et la forêt humide, ici representée. Le taux d'endémisme y est très important.
