Ahhhhhh, for the beautiful color of leaves!

The leaves down below you, in Southern Eastern Ohio, hasn't even turned yet!
Usually by now the trees have lots of color, but not this year.

Beginning of the week of Oct 7, day temperatures have been to high (high in the 80's) and the low temperatures have been mild (low in the 60's). By the end of the week, temperatures dropped to high's in the 50's, low's in upper 30's.

Now we have a frost coming which helps to have the leaves FALL
I wonder if we will have green leaves on the ground this year?

I love the UP! My dad's family is from there so I used to go visit every Summer but haven't been in about five years. Unfortunately, there's not many of them left anymore.

This picture was taken today near Alpena, Michigan in the Northern Lower Peninsula. The colors are just starting to peak.

Having moved from Michigan to Florida 18 years ago, one of the things I miss is the fall colors.

I don't miss the winters!
