I think the leaves in my area are eaten up more that what you showed. It is hard a really nice perfect or semi-perfect leaf this year. Most have big bites out of the sides.squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297406366801045392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-47045759016406267932009-10-21T09:13:52.137-04:002009-10-21T09:13:52.137-04:00Not that I noticed…though perhaps everything dulle...Not that I noticed…though perhaps everything dulled down a notch. The wind did strip a lot of the trees bare, so things are starting to look ragged and more open now. Today, the view up and down the river from the cottage (under a blue sky and bright sun) is more rusty-brown than yellow—different from even two days ago.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-45506908887256314322009-10-20T12:45:07.691-04:002009-10-20T12:45:07.691-04:00Griz: Did the rain affect your leaf coverage?

I can almost see the mountain to my west again, so that's one postive effect of losing some leaves!<br /><br />Carolyn H.Carolyn Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179182853082650546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891819.post-13209887956710509462009-10-20T12:27:12.700-04:002009-10-20T12:27:12.700-04:00I've been shooting leaf shots galore, too.

The Virginia creeper, for example, just went from green to a winey burgundy, and is now mostly gone. Sumac was more crimson than scarlet—red, but not the bright red. <br /><br />But the golds and oranges have been loud! So I'm not complaining. (Okay, maybe I'm complaining a little bit.)<br /><br />The seasons have a mind of their own. Always.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.com
