October's finds 🍂🍁 A lovely piece of bark f October's finds 🍂🍁

A lovely piece of bark foraged by my dog, pinecones, leaves. This is my favourite time of the year in Canada. The temperature is perfect, it's mostly sunny and the colours of the trees are stunning. Too bad it only lasts for a month or so!

Camping was great, even though we got rained out 🏕 
Fall camping is my absolute favourite, the colours are so beautiful and the weather starts to feel crisp and fresh. Mushrooms are starting to pop up everywhere, and the forest smells so good. 🍄 🍂🍁
We spotted a weasel (sadly he was too fast to take a picture), a porcupine, a family of dear, a toad who liked to hang out near our tent, and a lot of chipmunks and little red squirrels.
We couldn’t wait to go back, so we already booked our next trip!
