Ah, sugar . . . Sugar maple, brightest of them all! It's what makes New England and Ontario especially so grand in the fall. I'm not sure how far up north in Canada they do a good display--please chime in, Canadian flistmates. We don't have so many here, and there are fewer south of here. They kept a long display here this year, though many of them got rained off by their peak, and I guess most of us humans got rained in from seeing them. I love them pre-peak best, though, when they still have a lot of green to contrast with the flames.


Behold the colorful stuffses!!!




We're coming to the northwest corner of the lake now, where there's a hill that goes up from the lake with lots of picnic tables and grills, a playground, basketball court, small amphitheater, nice new restroom, the parking lot behind them, along with a couple of cherry trees and sugar maples, and some pines.

Thank you! I haven't been to Nova Scotia since I was a lil kid and I think we were there in the summer. I figured maples must go north enough to make it worth putting the leaf on the flag, but I don't think sugar maples are as hardy as other maples.
