Autumn arrives as October begins

natureOct 1, 20262024,488

Photographers and travelers are marking the start of October with peak fall colors and seasonal scenes from Ireland to Canada. In Killarney, Ireland, visitors are finding orange and green leaves among small forested grounds at Killarney House and Gardens. In Canada, bright yellow, burnt orange and fiery red leaves are appearing coast to coast as days shorten; Algonquin Provincial Park and neighboring parks show a kaleidoscope from mid-September to mid-October thanks to 24 native species of deciduous trees. Vancouver’s 28 km Seaside Greenway through Stanley Park offers mild fall biking and guided tours that highlight the park’s 125-year history and temperate rainforest biodiversity. Quebec’s Parc national du Mont-Tremblant features vivid red maples and a gondola to Laurentian peaks for panoramic views, while Cape Breton’s Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park often peak in early to mid-October after colors begin changing in late September. Even where a dusting of snow signals seasonal change in Calgary, residents find golden foliage along the Bow River and autumn comforts like pumpkin spice lattes and local produce. Wildlife sightings tied to the season include chipmunks gathering, northern gannets, prairie rattlesnakes giving birth, golden eagles migrating, arctic foxes whitening, and deer and moose entering mating season.

UuU was playing FE:engage to prepare for fortune weaves' release while working on this banner so it was heavily rpg inspired - though it was always the plan to have them find treasure! I made this map to pitch to steam and also had it in summer banners and content hub as a literally tiny easter egg

Every sale I always go to the points shop and buy all the profile stuff because your artwork is the best! It combines two of my favorite things. 😭 I have all the other seasons you’ve done too.

I really got out of my comfort zone with this one! I wasn’t sure about it for so long, but I actually love it! #art #illustration #digitalArt #Fall #Autumn #Birdsky #Cute #Artist

Digital illustration: an A4 canvas is covered with colourful and simple drawings of fallen leaves. Among them are 7 blackbirds peeking out. The leaves are not fully coloured, only with a bit of a sketchy style, leaving a lof of white visible through them, which helps bring out the uniform black of the blackbird’s bodies.

I love it too! Look at the little guys! The contrast between the light, not completely filled in colors and the stark black birb areas is super nice!

Into October 🍂 #photography #nature #trail #sunlight #autumn #fall I waited at the start of this trail as the sun started shining through the trees, hoping for light rays. As I was photographing this spot the glowing leaves looked almost like fireflies as they moved in the slight breeze. ✨️💛

Orange leaves line a trail through a tunnel of trees. Morning sunlight from the right lights up leaves here and there.

The sun rises over the Chesapeake Bay, as viewed from a beach with a rock jetty in the foreground. Smooth waves ripple ashore while cool tones fill the sky.
