The fall colours sneak up on you.

For the past week or two I’ve been watching the trees around town, waiting for it to happen. Little patches of trees start to change here and there, but it wasn’t until late last week and this weekend when the big change started.

The colour change encouraged you to take photos of it and tweet them. Here are a few!
