There were very few deciduous trees in this small area (along Cobble Flats road), but the colours just seemed to glow in contrast to the dark green of the evergreens. Unfortunately, we don't get the autumn reds in Alberta, just yellow and orange. Seen yesterday afternoon, when I drove out west of the city to Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis. The colours everywhere were gorgeous, but Mother Nature's fall-time magnificence is very short lived and will be over in a blink of the eye. Meanwhile, Jack Frost is itching to arrive and get to work on his incredible artwork.
