Photo: Jacques Cartier River Autumn Reflections Quebec

Autumn has clearly taken over around the Jacques-Cartier River in Quebec, Canada as the reflections of the colourful trees are clearly visible in the water.

Trees along the banks of the Jacques Cartier River in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier in Quebec, Canada seem to grow on a slant as they hang above the surface of the water. A few green leaves still cling to the thin branches as Autumn has already changed many of the leaves to yellow but they still manage to hang on to the tree.

The bark on this particular type of tree has areas where the moss grows but the bark eventually seems to separate and peel away. Not only do the Autumn leaves know when it is time to move on, but the bark will also shed, showing off the new growth on the tree when spring arrives.

Plenty of trails meander through the park but this one leading from Le Point Blanc follows the river and is one of the prettiest during the Autumn. The hillsides are an array of incredible colours and when the lighting is just right and the Jacques-Cartier River is calm, the reflections in the water are breathtaking. ... continue below the picture...

Pictures of reflections always seem to carry an extra bit of class but when the Autumn hillsides in Parc de la Jacques-Cartier create a mirror image in the river, the scenery is beyond words. Surrounded by nature's wilderness, wildlife and amazing reflections, walking through the trails alongside the Jacques-Cartier River in the Autumn season is something that you will never forget.
