The peak is upon is

At least in NE Ohio that is. I'm talking about the leaves. We've had a couple really cool nights this week that made the reds and oranges and yellows, and even the greens, really pop out in their brightest colors. Monday was the best day to view them. I say that because the storm we had that night through yesterday blew in with harsh winds and heavy rains that stripped at least half the trees of their leaves. The colors are a bit brighter now, but they are few and far between. But you'll still get an eyeful of splendor if you head out into the country and look out over the hills. The massive amounts of second growth trees that Ohio boasts are magnificent. But make sure you grab your camera, you'll regret it if you don't.

I love the beauty of fall; what a pretty season it is. Too bad it's so short lived.
