Article: Colors of Canada: Atmosphere is right for a getaway to Ontario's Thousand Islands.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

KINGSTON, Ontario _ Looking for fall color? Take a hint.

Pick a country whose flag looks like autumn. Say, one with a great big red maple leaf on it.

How could you miss?

This summer was pretty wet, which means the autumn colors are likely to be brilliant.

And that means the reds, yellows and oranges of late September to mid-October are likely to be fantastic around Kingston, at the east end of Lake Ontario, and the nearby Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River.

This is classic leaf-peeping country.

Why?
