Barrie, Ontario is located on the shores of Georgian Bay, a large bay beside Lake Huron. The islands are very typical of the Canadian Shield in that they are very rocky, and generally covered, as much as the presence of soil permits, with deep boreal forests. In the fall, the deciduous trees in these woods, like trees everywhere in the fall, turn a range of brilliant oranges, yellows and reds. The colors are rich and vibrant, and a pleasure for all that get a chance to see this area at this time of year.

The following images from the Georgian Bay Islands near Barrie, Ontario in the Fall were all taken with a Kodak DCS265 digital camera, a point and shoot, 1.7 megapixel camera.
