Every Autumn, I follow the colors brilliantly displayed on the trees with great intertest. I lookt to see when the golds are predomninant or when the reds come on like fire. Each year can be a little different, but the golds tend to stay the longest.
This year seems to be going as you would expect. With the exception of our burning bush and Japanese maples, the reds have pretty much faded as the golds have taken on the lead role. As that not so subtle shift in color hapens, it is time to take those last few walks in the woods. Enjoy the last of the fall color and warmish temperatures.
If you are looking for me, I will be in the woods, camera in hand.
