Crisp Fall Days

Thursday was warm enough to go outside in shirtsleeves comfortably, and was a bright day with clear blue skies and good light for viewing the multicolored foliage; the smell of Autumn was in the air. There are green leaves, bright yellow leaves, vivid red leaves, and also som drab leaves.

After some clouds and rain late Thursday, Friday was another bright, crisp day with blue sky, but much colder, demanding gloves and a winter coat. There were still leaves on the trees, providing a feast for the eyes.

Did you perceive the colors as being better this year? They were down here. The last several years, it's been isolated splotches, a tree or bush here or there. This year, although several weeks late, colors were wider-spread. Instead of leaves turning brown even before they fell like other years, this year, trees kept colors for a couple of weeks. It was pretty amazing.

I’m not certain, but the leaves here in Northern Virginia may be more colorful than usual. I still think that the autumn foliage in Central Pennsylvania and in Western Massachusetts is better.
