D'Arcy Norman's picture of fall 2007 is a great reminder that our autumn colour is a short but spectacular season.
The big deciduous trees around Calgary are mainly poplars - Balsam Poplar (Populus balsamifera), Trembling Aspen (P. tremuloides) and some poplar hybrids.
The trees glow like candles against a cloudy sky, as on today. The fallen leaves below are very much like golden ponds.
I'm not being poetic, that's literally how they look.
This is the time of year when our lowly poplars really do shine.
