The fresh market in Quebec city displays their seasonal picks of blueberries and raspberries. The fresh markets in the area are known for their large portions in the season; as fall approaches, many blueberries and raspberries grow. The heat wave causes a boost in the local production of berries, such as the blueberries and strawberries pictured at the local fresh market, which are shown above.

The variety of fall leaves is visible on the dirt road in Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville. Rather than going straight to red, the leaves gradually begin to change color in late September.

As Montreal experiences an exceptionally hot September, the locals don’t seem to mind. Being that most of their year is spent shoveling snow, many Canadians are enjoy the warm weather.  Many locals take the opportunity to dress in summery clothes in the unusually hot weather. A barely noticeable start of Autumn/Fall season is approaching, and the warm weather combined with the beautiful sight of colorful trees means going out, hosting events and having picnics for many Quebecois. The maple leaves begin turning red in September and by October, almost all of the tree’s leaves will be red and orange.
