You walk a small trail, you meet the Germans, the Swiss, the Dutch and the French.
I get that it's exciting, uncomfortable even.
There was just one nationality that was screaming and shouting about how a tourist hotspot was too busy to take a photo. Three individual couples, holding up the whole bridge trying to snap nice facebook pictures and being an ass about it when people wanted to gently pass. My pardonnez moi was met with not-so-friendly responses.

Ah right. Yes. French as tourists are frequently annoying. Came across them when looking at Lemurs in the wild. And a group of french asking the guide to shake the tree so the animal would move.

fall colour so far . On a small Acer rubrum . Collected this spring . Glad to see the tinge of red . ( some only display yellow ) the tree should intensify the red in better light . Nothing has been done to this tree other than recover in the shade under my yard apple . There are pics of the tree in the study group thread . The small nature of the tree .( it has a unique root ) has me contemplating replacing all the foliage with Palamatum. For smaller foliage . The good colour has me rethinking that approach

People often ask me for a description of great collecting sites. How does one know they are in the right place? I snapped a couple of pictures on my recent travels to illustrate such a place for Yamadori. Now you cannot collect in this particular site but it displays the excellent characteristics of sites that are worth seeking. Wet bog areas on higher plateaus surrounded by healthy forest but exposed to harsher growing conditions and environment then the surrounding forests.

Cape Breton, the beginning of September. We were part way through our Cross Canada tour. Left Vancouver island in the middle of August and returned the end of September. This was our fourth trip, taking in the backroads and expanse of our country! The van stops at most Quilt shops and several points of interest related to Bonsai. This year I slipped down to Rochester and had the privilege of visiting with Bill. Was wonderful to see his trees and share time with him. He has some amazing trees. There just happens to be some favourite stopping points along the route even though parts of it change each time. If you are ever near L'abbe du Benoit du lac in Quebec you must purchase the Fontina cheese! Sault St. Marie is a great place to check out Italian restaurants and who can forget WAWA

Frank in the pic . Look along the north shore of the St Lawrence river . East of Quebec City especially as you get closer to Sept illes . There are rock cliffs mostly vertical overlooking the river on the north shore . On top there are flat plains near the edge is wind/ ice tortured areas .eastern larch . Eastern cedar . Sone others like black spruce . My first round of bonsai my cascade cedar came from there . ( June 1st in a cold windy rainy day 1 degree above freezing ) some of the finest eastern larch in North American collections were collected exactly there . Trees of David Easterbrook of Montreal and Nick Lenz and others come to mindCape Breton, the beginning of September. We were part way through our Cross Canada tour.

Yamadori from similar sites typically have very rough flaky bark. Similar to the shore pine in the picture attached. Google Earth is amazing at helping one explore new collecting sites once you know the type of terrain to look for and the directions most exposed to the extreme weather patterns.

I mainly catch them at my cottage . On a small lake . That would. Be a very good one there . On the St Lawrence where they gorge on invasive gobies . That 3.6 lbs is Average. PB is 6.4 . 20 lbs bag in a tournament be lucky to make the top 20 . Drop shot and rigs on the bottom and hang on they don’t want to come up . Or they rocket to the surface . And mess up the light tackle needed to get them . Brake your heart but a blast
