Glowing Autumn Leaves Most years about this time our Big-leaf Maple’s leaves turn a rusty brown and fall off the tree or the leaves fall off the tree green. Not so this year. The trees have been putting on quite a phenomenal display of yellow and orange. Lucky enough to have a ray of sunshine and calm water in Whaletown Bay.

      Thank you, Christine. This kind of show only happens once every four or five years. Perhaps someone other than myself has an explanation! Posted 3 years ago
