Hello Rockies 💙 * * * #alberta #rockymountains #rockies #mountains #lake #landscape #kananaskiscountry
I always feel like fall is the season that passes by the fastest. One day you’re admiring the fall colours and the next BAM! The leaves are all brown and crunchy and on the ground, and you realize that, once again, you didn’t get to enjoy this wonderful season as fully as you wanted * * * #fall #autumn #maple #leaves #red #mapleleaf #canada
Fall in Alberta is absolutely beautiful, but I have to give a shout-out to how Eastern Canada does fall. The maple tree, in my opinion, is the master of fall colours and while my home provinces of Ontario and Quebec have one growing on every corner, they’re unfortunately not native to Alberta. Alberta certainly makes up in other ways, but I have to say I miss those stretches of amber, crimson and yellow hues #quebecjetaime * * * #fall #autumn #quebec #cantonsdelest #landscape
Before I moved to Alberta, I had never heard of a larch tree. Now, I’m absolutely enamoured and obsessed with them. Larches are one of the only coniferous trees (with pine needles) that change to a brilliant yellow/orange colour in the fall and then drop all their needles, much like a regular deciduous (leafy) tree. There are entire valleys of them in Alberta that I can’t wait to explore next fall. The snow came a bit earlier this season but I find it actually looks quite spectacular with the grayscale hues of mountains and snow contrasting with the pop of yellow * * * #hiking #alberta #mountains #canada #rockies #peterlougheedprovincialpark #pocaterracirque #landscape #larchmadness #contrast #yellow #popofcolor
