Autumn

As someone who has had the chance to travel throughout the world one of the things that truly amazes me about Canada is the change of the seasons. This is quite unique for the northern climes. I was able to travel the backroads for most of the weekend.  The pallet of colors was truly amazing: orange, yellow, green, red, brown, grey, whites and small patches of black.

The prairies are beautiful at most times of the year.  This is the time of year I always get homesick. I grew up in the mountains of  Jasper.  The autumn was always special in the mountains the air is crisp, there are no bugs, the weather is usually dry and you can see the colors climbing down the mountains on all sides of the valleys.

It is something that people from the mountains always look forward too.  It is the last of the warmth before winter and the universe gives an incredible light show to end the warm days of summer.
