Stunning Colours in Fall


Stunning Colours in Fall

LOGDEN LODGE BLOG • BY ANNELIES ELLERMAN


Living in the mountains and you love colour and change, one season definitely stands out and that is Fall.

Ymir in Winter, the huge snowfalls this area is known for, for sure keeps surprising us. Just amazing for for exploring the area on snowshoes an skiing. Then Spring came, a bit wet but fascinating when you are a gardener and like to follow new growth popping up every where. Summer, ah yes. Hot days just the way I like them. Definitely on my colour-list. A new world opened up to me, with the most lovely wildflowers I’ve ever seen in all colours of the rainbow.

I never was that fond of Fall before we moved here. Being a city girl and having lived in countries without the four seasons for many years, to me Fall meant the end of warm and long days turning into wet and short days with mostly horizontal winds.

But then I experience Fall here, or Autumn as we call this season.

The trees change colour, the water in the rivers drops showing mossy rocks and mushrooms everywhere in all sizes and colours. Not slowly, but from one day to the next, so to keep up we went outside and explore. I am in total awe on my daily walks and regular hikes... And the smell! Better than any perfume I know of!

It is a short season though, here in the Snow Valley. Usually the weather changes to Winter half November and the season without colour starts covering all that natural bright red, yellow and green into white.
