The Fall colours of the Margaree Trail



This is  a snapshot taken along the Cabot Trail at North East Margaree to show you the "fall colours". This year, the colours started early,  as far back as late August , but here we are now past mid October and the colours are still in "peak".
The stage of the colours will also vary depending on whether you are inland or travelling along the coast or what we call "up in the highlands".  These three photos are taken inland .  Along the coast , the colours have started to fade . They'll only last through one more wind or one more heavy rain .
We all like to know when to tell people to come and visit to see the colours in their "prime".  This is very hard to predict , but from October 1 to 10 seems to be a pretty good window , but this year right up the the 20th has been good.
