“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all other seasons.” – Jim Bishop
Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year in Canada. As the leaves turn shades of red, orange, and gold, forests and parks become a colourful display of nature.
These photographs capture the beauty of the Canadian fall, from colourful leaves and quiet forest reflections to the autumn scenery of Toronto’s High Park.

“There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!” – Percy Bysshe Shelley



“Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don’t feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.” – Marilyn Monroe

“I saw old Autumn in the misty morn stand shadowless like silence, listening to silence.” – Thomas Hood



“A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.” – E. E. Cummings


“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.” – William Allingham
Canada’s autumn colours offer endless opportunities for photography, with changing light, rich textures, and striking contrasts throughout the season.
The photographs in this collection were taken with Sigma DP and Ricoh GR cameras.
