Geese enjoying the fall colors and a swim on Snow Shed Pond.

it has been a wild 36 hours at Killington. Torrential rains from tropical storm Nichole have dumped huge quantities of water on the countryside. Road surfaces are wet. Dirt roads and roads covered with wet leaves are a little slick, but at least in Killington there does not seem to be much damage from the storm.

Foliage color in Killington is holding up well. Most trees in Killington have started to change color, shedding their summer green for a mix of red, orange, and yellow. Some of the trees that were further along have seen their leaves fall with the rain, but for the most part the views around the area this morning were very colorful.

Foliage color at the inn is representative of the area. The poplar and birch trees at the front of the inn have just started to transition from green to yellow. Most of the maple trees have started to turn red, while the oak trees are going towards a burnt orange color. You will find a small photogallery of todays pictures from around Killington on the Birch Ridge Inn Facebook page under 2010 Colors of Fall - After the Deluge..

Where ever you may be, enjoy the fall scenery. And if you are on the east coast of the United State...stay dry!
