Great Colors this Fall

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

The colors this fall have been great. With shorter and shorter days upon us and the recent string of dreary gray days, the colors of the leaves have been a true blessing. While driving or walking I have studied the shape and character of some trees I would not usually notice. 

It is not just visual. Playing tennis and walking along the road I have been pelted with falling acorns. They say a big acorn year means an increase in the mouse population next season and as a result, a high tick count will be looming.

Nevertheless, I find the rich colors intoxicating this year. In fact, my property has some trees just beginning to peak as you read this. 

I can't wait for sunny days again so I can do more plein air painting before the leaves all come down.
