Fall Preview

In Elizabeth City, North Carolina, I’m still waiting for a lot of the leaves to change. There is no hope for the pines, of course. The Bald Cypresses have started to brown and a few of the other species have decided it is fall just in past week. The baby American Chestnuts are still green, but a few of the baby Pawpaws have started to yellow. Overall, the predominant color is still green. Two weeks ago, I was in Wisconsin for business. Wisconsin trees have solidly acknowledged it is autumn and the result is beautiful! One afternoon after my day’s meetings, I went for a quick walk around my hotel. I got to enjoy the crisp air, the sound of leaves crunching under my feet and get a quick preview of what’s to come back home. : )
Changing Maple… and a Skeleton!
More pictures of my walk in Marshfield, Wisconsin can be found on my Flickr site.

Here in the Blue Ridge, about 300 miles to your left, autumn arrived all at once a couple of weeks back, then bad weather took most of the leaves off the trees all at once. most are completely bare now and we have a chance of rain mixed with SNOW in the forecast from Friday!

Fall is being weird this year. Went to get apples, but my favorite varieties weren’t ready yet. Went on a hike to see fall colors, but the trees hadn’t changed yet. Weirdness.
And, it’s supposed to be in the 80’s this week… hmmm…
