As I drove along Route 2 yesterday I saw quite a few trees which are starting to change to their Fall colors. You may have noticed some yellows and oranges in pictures I took in Montana and North Dakota but in Minnesota and now in Michigan I am seeing lots of bright reds, both light and dark shades, as well as some leaves where only the edges have changed and some trees where only a portion (side or top) have started to change.
I tried taking a few closeups with the digital camera but am not real happy with how they turned out. I am getting ready to go out and drive around the area where I’m staying so I will keep my eyes peeled for better examples and may even backtrack to the road I came over on and stop in more places than I did yesterday.
You’re going to have one of the longest fall foliage seasons ever! You’re following the leaf changing perfectly! You’re getting the beginning in MT/ND/MI etc. and leaves will likely be peaking by the time you return to NC (and things should be dried out by then too!). Enjoy and keep posting those beautiful pictures!
