AUTUMN IN THE MOUNTAINS
This is Mountain
Mike, the Canadian Brother from the beautiful province of
 ,
Canada. It is now
 in British Columbia and it is so beautiful here. The
trees have started to turn colour and there is a thin layer of snow on the tops
of the mountains. It is starting to get cooler during the day and very cold
during the night.
The animals are
very busy in the
 at this time of the year, scurrying around for food.
It is fun to watch the squirrels and chipmunks go from tree to tree storing
their stash of acorns. They seem in such a hurry and don't even care that I am
watching them. They will soon enter their hibernation for the winter months.
The mountains
are a range of golden colours in the autumn. The
 ,
clear icy blue, look very cold and fresh. The
are all empty of campers and stand lonely waiting for the next camping season to
come.
The autumn moon hangs low in the sky and it looks like you could touch it if you
stood on the highest mountain peak. On a clear night in British Columbia, the
stars still dazzle in the sky.
Ranchers must
get their land ready for spring. Hay and other crops must be brought in and
fertilizer needs to be spread. Autumn is a very busy time of the year for
ranchers.
