There’s a really great article on the PhotoFocus website by Steve Eilenberg on how to take care of your flash cards.

I’d like emphasize his Tip #7 about not inserting or removing a flash card with the camera turned on. On my Nikon D-90 there is a little green light that flashes whenever I turn the camera off. As long as that light is on the camera may be accessing the card so IT IS NOT SAFE TO INSERT OR REMOVE THE FLASH CARD! I always wait for it to turn off.

The Ontario Parks Fall Report is updated weekly and conveniently provides a map and other visual aids to help leaf peepers figure out what the fall foliage conditions are at Ontario Provincial Parks and the surrounding areas.

Anywhere in Ontario from the end of September to mid-October offers up fall color, but some of Ontario’s more popular fall foliage viewing spots are Algonquin Park, the Bruce Peninsula,

Ontario Fall Colour Progress Report

Like the Ontario Parks Fall Colour Report, this report also tracks the changing fall colours across Ontario. Take a road trip and see the vibrant leaves in the northern, northeastern, and northwestern parts of the province.

Quebec Fall Foliage Report

This tourism website provides foliage updates for the province starting mid-September and is   updated every Friday. Just about anywhere in Quebec will reward leaf-peepers with fall colour in late September to mid-October, but some of the most popular places to see fall foliage are the Laurentian Mountains, the ​Eastern Townships, Gatineau Park, and Charlevoix.
