Short-lived beauty

It won't be long now before all the leaves are off the trees. After a quick, rather disappointing visit to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park three days ago, I drove home via some of the backroads south of 22X. The fall colours were beautiful (though unfortunately I was facing the sun in this shot). The next day, Tuesday, it was grey and pouring with rain when I went out to Kananaskis for the afternoon, so I was thankful that I had seen these lovely colours the previous day.
