Autumn 2010

Peak foliage is pretty much over here in western Massachusetts. And it happened quickly. Probably about 4 days ago. Maybe 5. The summer drought choked the trees pretty hard. It was a hot, dry summer. Lawns were scorched yellow and brown for much of it.

But the lawns are green now. And the colors still hang. They're not as vibrant as they were just a few days ago, but they're still pretty. I think so, anyway.

Here are some pics I took this afternoon. It was 57 degrees today. Sunny, a bit breezy. I love this weather. I might not be able to bottle it, but I can blog it. Ha. I can do that.


Get outside when you can. It's nice out there. Even when it's not.
