An afternoon at the Jardin Botanique
Today I finally got around doing something other than work or school! A real activity! I went to the Jardin Botanique. And I’ve got 10 photographs to share.
I arrived at the end of the afternoon as I wanted to find some coloured trees to photograph. I don’t have time for a real fall foliage day trip so this is the best I could think of! In the Japanese garden I found some really nice red trees and all around there were lots of nice yellow ones too!
Nice contrast of the soft white with the bright red leafs…

Little berries…

A lake… Almost feels like I am not in the city anymore!

Nice colours in the trees…

I also went to see the pumpkins in the Grande Serre for Halloween. I thought it was classic pumpkin designs but they were all wacky, painted & made with props. I still enjoyed it (though it was very crowded with a lot of children)!

A “scary” ghost…

As the sun set I went to the Lanterns exhibition at the Chinese garden. The darker it got the more beautiful it was! And the colder it got too!
Lanterns…

Reflections…

A part of the main decorations…

Birds and man…

Both the pumpkins and the lanterns are scheduled until the 31st of October so you have a few days left to go!
