Pink Lake loop

On Monday I went for a drive on the parkways in Gatineau Park to check out the leaves. A recent cold snap has caused the colors to change quickly. While they were plenty red, orange, yellow etc they were not at peak. I hit both lookouts (Huron and Champlain), stopped the car many times to snap a shot of colorful trees lining the road (it was early and there was no traffic) and pulled over at each and any vista point such as small beaver ponds or swamps.

On the way back to town I stopped in at Pink Lake and walked the loop. This is a great little walk at any time of the year and especially when the leaves are changing. There was even more boardwalks and staircases that the last time I was there as erosion of the steep shores is a problem. Not only were the leaves looking great but there was a constant sound of geese flying overhead on their way south.

The colors are not at their peak but should be there in a weeks time.
