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.
