AUTOMN LANDSCAPES

What a beautiful fall day today, but I have not benefited much, I'm sick. No it's not swine flu, not this time, I don't have fever, just a nasty cold that follows its usual course.

I took the opportunity to rummage through my pictures and I took my most beautiful autumn photos to show you.

__________ OUTREMONT __________

It is in Outremont, on the Mount Royal mountain, that I have seen the most beautiful yellow. The municipality take a jealous care of the trees, often centuries old. In Outremont, I saw, for the first time, cabling systems and docking to help large branches to support the weight of the leaves.

__________ VERDUN __________

Verdun is a neighborhood in the west of the city and the trees are also very old, unfortunately the municipality prefers to invest on the shores and they often get rid of the old trees. There are a lot of red maple leaves. I saw the most beautiful red-orange color in Verdun.

A bike path runs along the banks of the St. Lawrence nearly 15km, in Verdun, there is a promenade and several small parks for relaxing or to do a picnic.

__________ ANGRIGNON PARK __________

Angrignon Park, has many subtle charms with its 97 hectares and over 20,000 trees, it is one of the largest parks in Montreal. One would think a nineteenth century english garden, with its winding paths and a pond surrounded by cattails.
