The first full week of Fall sure was spectacular on all fronts. I do not recall the weather being so nice even this past Summer. We sure took advantage of it. We spent a lot of time outdoors, going for walks, sitting on the deck, gardening and also went to Algonquin Park on Friday to take in the Fall colours. They were at their peak. We couldn't have picked a better day to go. We walked many trails, some pretty steep, and Russell took wonderful photos, all picture perfect if you ask me.
It was a nice day. We took Cooper with us and he was a trooper walking all those trails. Needless to say that with his full coat, he is a leaf magnet, but he didn't mind, neither did we. It was fun, we met lots of people with their dogs and it was just majestic to take in all the colours. I can see why people come from far away just to see the leaves in the Fall. And there were bus loads of people. We brought lunch and ate it at the Lake of Two Rivers Picnic Ground and Beach then carried on for one last hike. We got home feeling a little tired from all the walking but it was worth it.
Unlike last Sunday, which was soggy, today is another beautiful and warm day. We will go on the boat after lunch and check out the colours from the water. They should be very nice. Who knows, this could be the last ride of the season.
This is a short blog as there is not much else to talk about except the weather! Everyone that I spoke to this week was saying the same: let's take advantage of this weather while it lasts. And that is what we are doing.
I include a few of the pictures that Russell took. Hope you enjoy them. I wish you all a great week and I wish all of us more of the same weather in the weeks to come.
