The Magic of Fall in Canada

“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.
