Local Autumn Scenery in New Brunswick

When I go fishing or out for a walk at this time of year it takes my breathe away. They yesterday we had hurricane like winds that striped off most of those colours so I thought I would post some pictures I have taken in the last few weeks.

We have some nice Maple trees alone our street that change to autumn colours early most years so it’s a nice way to start my daily walks.

It usually stays like this for a few weeks unless we get windy weather like we had yesterday. I am almost hesitant to go for my walk today. I am afraid the fun is over for this year and it’s only Nov. 1st.

Well enough getting down over it we will have it all again next year won’t we.

This next picture is of a plant I don’t recall seeing here before but perhaps I have and just never seen it at this time of year. If you know what it is please chime in with a comment and let me know please.

I went for a long time walking by a house that had a Japanese Maple in their yard because it was stuck in a corner which is hard to see from the street if you aren’t on the right angle.

They are a very gorgeous tree so I got as close as I could without going onto their property and snapped a shot.

I see a lot of colours at this time of year but not always great looking trees but this Maple turned a bright yellow and I managed to get a picture before the winds cleaned it all off.

You can see in the back right of the picture to the left, that some of the maples are already almost stripped of leaves. Caught it at the perfect moment.

A lot of our flowers have gone for this year but there are still a lot on my walk that looked great up until just a few days ago when we got a few days of frost in a row.

It only takes me about 40 minutes to complete my walk but in that time I get exercise for both body and mind returning home refreshed and ready to take on another day of blogging.

Around the corner from our house there is a paved path that cuts across about 5 or 6 blocks. It’s great to use this path instead of the sidewalks.

It’s fenced on both sides and has vines that cover the wire fences along the path. They make great cover and give some privacy to the home owners but man when fall comes those vines change colour. I could just sit on that path and stare at them forever. Well maybe only until all their leaves fall off, which probably happened in the wind yesterday.

The image above is actually three images of the same section of fence. You can see how green an lush it is during the entire summer, then once it gets hit with a little cold wind in the fall it loses the green but still looks great and then over night it will change to the colours at the bottom of the picture.

There are bushes that are hardly noticeable all summer long but as soon as the temperature drops they turn into bushing that look like they are a blaze.

It looks kind of big in the picture but they don’t seem to get much more than 3 to 4 feet tall. I think it would make a great hedge around our property. I just need to figure out what it is.

One tree or shrub that we want to have in both back corners of our yard is a hydranga. They really draw the eye for most of the summer but once fall hits they start turning from bright white to awesome shades of pink. The picture below kind of shows how they change.

They are sort of the same colours as the snowball tree gets in the fall but I find the snowball tree, when it’s smaller tends to fall over with all the weight of those snowballs. The to look great for most of the winter. Or until one of our wind or ice storms strip them clean.

I remember living in Ontario but back then I was more interested in girls and didn’t take time to stop and smell the roses. Once I moved to New Brunswick I found the girl I would marry and then had plenty of time to watch the scenery.
