The trees are changing colour and leaves are forming a carpet. There are numerous beautiful parks in Istanbul that you can leisurely stroll around.

With its colourful fellows, glad shade did it cast
Now it lies on the deck; for its glory is past.
But lives ever on, as iconic staple
For the land of the free, the Canadian maple.

Maple trees are common across the Northern Hemisphere, and the leaf has been adopted as the symbol of Canada. They are popular ornamental trees as during the autumn the leaves turn brilliant yellow, orange or even to bright red. The colour change is due to the breakdown of the green pigment chlorophyll, which masks the other colours for the rest of the year.

Safe inside your little cottage in the woods, you watch the leaves fall from the trees; a sign that winter is coming. It's a sunny autumn day, yet too chilly to wonder outdoors. Therefore, you are happy to stay inside and watch Nature change from the comfort of your home. Maybe you'll see a stag or deer come visit your home?

Frost covers the windows of your cottage, hinting that it is a chilly, crisp air outside. It must be windy, as you can see the leaves blowing against your window!

As you step onto the shore, you continue to enjoy the sunset and notice the host home close by! What a welcome sight after a long, but joyful day of hiking into a new realm!

The glorious colors of autumn overflow in profusion along the trail prompting a chorus of 'oohs' and 'ahs' among the travelers. We pause and stare in rapturous awe for a moment before proceeding.

The light leads us to the remnants of a paved gently undulating road shrouded with trees just beginning to lose their leaves. We wonder what pets have journeyed through here in times gone by.

As you look to your left, with the waterfall thundering to your right, you see how swiftly the river runs past you as you ensure you have enough stepping stones to get across. One wrong step and you may be staying somewhere further south than you planned!

Listening to the crunch of crisp leaves underfoot, and breathing the earthy smell of fall, the Eternal Fall Forest keeps everypet connected with nature.

The colours of autumn leaves, as seen through frosted glass.

This is where the Merry Mole lives. Call in any time for a good game of chess!

On the road to nowhere, beside the Derwent Dam, lie quiet woods where no-one lives and few people go.
