The Autumn Leaves

I've been blown away by the leaf color up here in northern Minnesota. I've had to take pictures from my canoe and car, and while hiking. And each day, more trees are turning color.  At first it was small parts of one to a few trees, then full trees, and today, several hundred feet of trees along the highway were all colored. When I hiked in a mixed forest of conifers and deciduous trees, colors peaked out from the dark green background.

Here's a few of the scenes I've been privileged to see.  This goes out to all the folks in the south that mostly don't get to see fall color.

  2. Strangely, dry leaves were dropping here in eastern Pennsylvania in late August although the second half of the summer was anything but dry and the first half was normal. Mosquitoes have been thicker than flies. Some trees were starting to turn in early September, way earlier than normal. The weather has not been cold. Don't know whether it's because we had such an early spring the trees just got tired.
