Cold nights lately are making the leaves turn. Here's what it looks like on Work Point, the westernmost end of the Inner Harbour.

Fall Colors

We have lots of Arbutus trees (Arbutus menziesii) here and while their leaves don't change color or fall off during autumn, they do produce rich clusters of bright red berries at this time of year to participate in the season's colors.

Yesterday's photo was taken looking northwest up the Gorge. In the above photo we are looking south down the Gorge towards downtown, visible beyond the Bay Street (Point Ellice) Bridge.

Hatley Castle Fall Colours

Here's a shot of Hatley Castle from the southern side of Esquimalt Lagoon. The castle now houses part of the administration for Royal Roads University, some of whose buildings can be seen behind the castle.

Fall Colors

Autumn in Victoria means rain and rain means it's time to dig out the boots. No longer do they just come in black rubber; boots come with strips, polka dots and everything in between. These particular ones are being worn by my daughter who also took the picture...I think she likes them! - Fern

Thetis Lake Park

We never, ever get tired of this beautiful park and it's ever changing colors and moods. - Fern
