Fall foliage: leaf season is here
There is no question about it; leaves are falling onto lawns, driveways and sidewalks, and most of us have raked or blew at least a couple of bags worth out of the way. On a brighter note, many towns have some form of fall foliage festivals on tap, as this region attracts viewers from near and far for the peak of the fall foliage season.
The mountains and valleys of the region carry a rich diversity of deciduous, or leaf-bearing, tree species, and each species contributes a different color to the brilliant patchwork of trees on a hillside.
