Newfoundland is beautiful in the Fall.

#Newfoundland #Canada #VisitNewfoundland
Huge trees covered in yellow leaves among the houses - grey and red - with a wooden gazebo in the front, by the ocean. The red peak of a roof and a steeple peek out above the trees.

It was the most beautiful Fall day here on the Bonavista Peninsula.

#BonavistaPeninsula #Newfoundland #Canada
Three big trees covered in yellow leaves with some evergreen in front behind 3 houses - a white one, a red one and a grey one, at different levels on the hill. Across the water is a mountain covered with evergreen trees and in the far distance is the ocean.

The rocky hills are covered with low-lying green bushes, with red blueberry bushes among them. Beyond that are grassy fields leading to the ocean beyond.

The woods near the waterfall is filled with lichen, so pretty.

#RattleFalls #Newfoundland
The ground around the bushes is covered in white lacey lichen. The leaves on the bush are mostly green, but a few have turned red.

It's good to be surrounded by trees and mossy hills ...
I'm glad I live near trails in the woods.
