Leaf peeping
A tree in Readsboro earlier this week offers a preview of what's to come.
The mountains are on fire, and we're happy to see it.
Fall foliage season is upon us and while much of Bennington center is hanging onto the green, the outlying areas, especially the higher elevations, are ablaze with pockets of vibrant reds and orange, contributing to the general reddish hue of the mountain sides. In Woodford, peak may very well be this weekend as the colors are bright and trees still have nearly all their leaves. Soon the leaves will begin to fall and a slow transition to woody winter will begin.
So take a drive, ride a bike, or hike if you can, and check out the colors. Use the comment link and let us all know what stage your area is in. Check out a state report here.
