Tremulous aspens, glowing birch, fiery maples; an astonishing bright tapestry of gold and yellow, scarlet and tangerine: fall in the Laurentians. Leaving behind for a couple of days the delights of Montréal, a son busy with mid-terms, and warm and welcoming family, we headed north to cycle along Le P'tit Train du Nord and to hike through maple forest near Lac Monroe in the Parc National de Mont-Tremblant. There'll be pics next week, but for now it's simply words, which fall short. Suffice to say--we'll be back.
Have a good week all.
I was only thinking of you this morning as I noticed for the first time this season the yellowing of leaves. D'you recall the Monty Python cartoon of the reluctant leaf? After tearfully clinging to its branch pleading to remain, the first leaf falls with a dminishing cry followed moments later by his whole distraut family...Canadian Maple? Jammy B...ard!
