We're finally starting to see a little bit of fall color but first, some lovely sky pictures that I took on October 9th (the first one) and 14th. (pics 2 and 3)
In past years we have had peak fall color by October 10th but, as you can see, all the leaves were still completely green as late as the 14th. This is pretty much the same as last year.
Finally, this week the leaves are beginning to turn. This one was the 21st. Still mostly green but you can see a little bit of gold and brown.
As I commented on Twitter last week, everyone expects the spring of painters and poets. More often spring kind of sucks. Dark cloudy days, rain, storms. There have been years when we didn't see the sun at all for weeks at a time. This year though, we have had many very nice days, truly the spring of painters and poets. So I guess I shouldn't complain too much that this week is going to be the more typical spring of rain and storms.
This was Saturday, looking up from under a tree in my front yard. It doesn't get much better than this.
