While I prefer the delicate subtle colors of spring, most people prefer the bold colors of fall. Locally, fall is just about at peak color right now. Here are some highlights.

| One of the roads on our property just as the trees are beginning their fall color. |
 |
| Dogwood (Cornus florida) leaves. |
 |
| Winged (or Shining) sumac (Rhus copallinum) turns a brilliant red. |
 |
| Pignut hickory (Carya glabra) provides a golden glow. |
 |
| Red maples (Acer rubrum) live up to their name in the fall. |
 |
| White pines (Pinus strobus) contrast with black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) and pignut hickory. |
 |
| A striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum) in the process of turning red. |
 |
| Witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is one of the few woody plants that blooms in the fall after the leaves have dropped. |
