South Pond, Friday October 14, 2005

If you really look through the haze, fog, rain, hail, and wind that we have been experiencing in Vermont over the last 2 weeks, you could see some spectacular fall colors. 2 weeks of rain can put a damper on a lot of things, but the trees mother nature planted do have a schedule to keep as they prepare for winter. Going into the weekend, the maples are still showing red, although they are thinning out. The Oaks are turing golden, heading towards rust. The poplar are still on the green side, but they are beginning to turn towards yellow. The season is running very late. The weather forecast for the area predicts cold temperatures for next week. Assuming we do not get a lot of wind, the cold temperatures should bring out the remaining color. This picture was taken on Route 4 West of the Sherburne Pass overlooking South Pond. It was taken at approximately 12 noon.
