With a couple nights of rain and colder temps, the fall colors are at peak in a few places. Mainly those places are the tops of the higher mountains and in the valleys of nearly all of them. Temperature plays a huge roll in changing the leaves and on top of say Ivy Knob nearly the entire summit is in full Fall colors. Whereas low outlying ridges are still completely green.
I’m planning one more overnight trip to the mountains this year just for the purposes of taking photos and enjoying the color change. It is absolutely beautiful in the mountains during color change and if you have never witnessed it firsthand, you don’t know what you’re missing. It is one of the simple pleasures to be sure.

The Fall colors are really starting to show here too. I love this time of year.
Well I live on Long Island in New York…..Flat is the word that comes to mind. But the leaves are starting to change, probably nothing like the way they look in the mountains…but they are so vibrant. Such a spectacular display of Mother natures paintbrush on this canvas of life….
