Sharing my view with you.

I agree, that is one very straight telephone pole . . . oh, and the fall colors are pretty outstanding too!

We're at our peak too .When I was in CO they said go up to the mountains and see the wonderful fall colors ! Green spruce and sickly yellow aspen !!!

Here in the Catskills we are in the Appalachian hardwood forest where there are many species and thus many colors .

I just wish it lasted longer here in Vermont but it is a short but colorful fall. The leaves will be down very shortly. Not being from here I am still not used to such an early and short autumn.

This state has six seasons: Winter, mud season, spring, summer, fall and stick season.

Ann,
What is "stick" season?

It is the time before the snow falls but there are no leaves on the trees. It is typically a very cloudy period of raw, dark, cold days.

It is stick season now, many feel it is an ugly time of year. I don't. I like being able to see far into the forest and still be able to walk through it. Once the snow comes, until it is deep enough (3 ft or more) it's no fun, not quite snowshoe depth so it is hard to get around.
