Leaves, flowers, shrooms and beavers

I went for walk in Gatineau park today. I started up the steep side of the Wolf trail loop. Hard to believe that there are still biting insects at this time of year. There are occasional patches of color but the full color of fall is still a couple of weeks away.

I saw:

some interesting tree mushrooms



a turkey vulture from the Wolf trail ridge (excuse the dot on my camera's sensor).



some nice flowers along ridge road that the bees were loving



and a beaver pond on ridge road with an active local couple!



More beaver shots
