All-Hallown Summer
Indian summer, or as some Europeans call it, “Old Wives’ Summer” is something we all enjoy, in part because we can wander around appreciating the contrasting colours, both in the mountains, and back in Calgary. Providing red and gold colour in the early winter is a goal for many of us and the contrasting the green or blue of evergreen conifers brings a joy to me. If we have watered our lawns well, that green backdrop highlights the fall colours. But next year, have you a plan to expand your fall palette? A visit to some of the quieter valleys of the mountains can stimulate our senses – the photo shows the contrasting colours of larch and other evergreens beside an unidentified lake.
