Gold. Fiery reds. A landscape painted in autumnโ€™s bestโ€”but beneath the beauty, signs of our severe #drought linger. Stream beds that should be flowing are dry, and the land feels thirsty even as the colors shine bright. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ #FallVibes #newbrunswick #eastcoastkin #blueskyartshow #Canada

The sweep of crimson peat bogs on Miscou Island in the Acadian Peninsula are stunning right now. ๐Ÿ‚โœจ

As temperatures dip, the sphagnum moss that carpets the peatlands transforms into brilliant shades of red and burgundy.

๐Ÿ‚ Staghorn Sumac in Fall ๐Ÿ‚
One of the showiest sights of autumn is the sumac (yes, itโ€™s a native plant here in #NewBrunswick). Its leaves turn fiery shades of red and orange, and its clusters of berries provide an important winter food source for wildlife.

Signs of drought are everywhere in the Canadian Maritimes. This is McMaster Mill Falls, just outside of Greenwood, Nova Scotia. The first pic was taken this week, the second in Oct 2024. It's going to take a long time for rivers and lakes to recover once the rains do finally return.

You havenโ€™t truly experienced the forest until youโ€™ve stretched out on the ground and looked up. ๐ŸŒฒโœจ The view is magicalโ€ฆ just make sure you can get back up afterward! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Have other tropical storms or #hurricanes ever been as close to each other as Imelda and Humberto?

YES!

Since 1966, when satellites first began tracking tropical systems from space, there have been nine other instances of named storms forming this close together.

We have a short cool down this week before we rapidly warm back up for the second half of the weekend and into next week. Summer hangs on going into October. No rain in sight. #nbwx #newbrunswick

This reporting reveals an incredible weakness behind the scenes with lab work. If the health authorities couldn't handle the added demand from pharmacies, we should be very concerned.

Yes, a week or two early. I've noticed some leaves were actually dying on the branch before falling. We desperately need rain.
