Fall Colours around Bayfield

Well, summer seems to be over. Cooler weather now, and fall colours. Our favourite time of the year!

Walking down to the nearby Lake Huron shore for a pretty sunset:

This past Friday we took a day trip north along Lake Huron to the small town of Lions Head, on the Bruce Peninsula. We expected to see more colour change up that way, since it is north of Bayfield, but not too much up that way yet, with a few exceptions. It was a beautiful day for a drive though.

Near Sauble Falls

 

Near Oliphant, the lake Huron levels are still high this year. In years gone by we could drive out on sandy shore here:

Ready for even higher water levels

Looking out into the Bay at Lions Head you can see the colour changes are coming, slowly so far:

Beautiful clear Bay waters

Closer to home, work on the Bayfield River bridge replacement on Hwy 21 is progressing. A lot of foundation work has been done, with more concrete to come:

Pretty views you'd get from a boat going under the bridge

Still lots of boats in the water at Bayfield Marina

It's getting pretty right here at Bayfield Mews Lane too:

And of course the ever-changing views of the Bayfield River outlet from the Pioneer Park lookoff in Bayfield:

Today we needed some veggies, so headed south to a farm market we go to, Masse's. It's not far from there we get our eggs, so we have an excuse for a country drive once in a while (like we need an excuse!):

Nice rural views along the way
