Right? What a beautiful fall that has unfolded. These sunny mild days and cool nights are going to bring on some high quality fall color. I'm pretty excited for upcoming peak color.

Low of 33 in Pen-Mar.  Coldest morning this season but growing season lives on.   Challenged Fri/Sat night.

New England color is allegedly one of the best years in a long time. Hoping we get a good one too.

West Virginia color was pretty good when I was out there in early October. Driving through Monetary area last weekend after my snow hike and the colors were in peak and looked pretty. Then again, areas further west and south of NOVA were spared from the drought, and so far colors around Charlottesville haven’t been great.
