Fall Colors by Merrillee Whren

 Last month I talked about going on cruises. This month I'm going to share photos from our most recent cruise to New England and Canada. The cruise sailed from Boston. The weather was lovely the day we sailed, and thus, I forgot the coat I had dragged all the way from hot Arizona. So I got a new coat in Bar Harbor, Maine, our first stop on the cruise. Here I am in my new coat, while I stood at the entrance to the public gardens in Halifax, Nova Scotia. 

 Here is a photo that I took in the public gardens. The flowers were gorgeous.

 

 

On our next stop, Sydney, we rented a car and drove into the countryside and stopped in the little town of Baddeck. On the way we saw beautiful fall colors. We had lunch there. I had the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich. Here is a photo of the colorful foliage.

 

 

 

Our next stop was Prince Edward Island, which is famous for the Anne of Green Gables books. Here's a photo of the house that inspired the house in the books.

 

After our visit to Prince Edward Island, we sailed down the St. Lawrence River toward Quebec City. The leaves along the shore were spectacular, as was the foliage in and around Quebec City. The title photo was taken just outside the city near the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Deaupre. Here is a photo of the foliage along the river. 

We stayed a couple of days in Quebec before renting a car and driving to Montreal. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and cold in Montreal so other than taking a bus tour we didn't get to do much sight seeing. Here is a photo I took from our hotel room.

In keeping with the fall colors theme, I have a couple of books that start in the fall, and both of them end around Christmas time. You can find information about Second Chance Love by clicking or tapping on the title.

The other book is A Family to Call Ours. Again you can find information about the book by clicking or tapping on the title.
