Colors of fall

Some maple, sumac, and creeper had leaves turning color a few weeks ago. I guess it is one of the “J-curve” type concepts that you hear about now, sorry to the math literate readers. On Sunday morning there was come color here and there. By Monday afternoon when I went out to buy some groceries in Elderton, there was quite a bit more color. This morning it isn’t near peak yet, but the autumn colored leaves are very apparent.

There was some excitement on Cribbs Road on Monday. At around 2 pm when I went out for groceries saw a milk truck in the ditch at the crossroads where State Route 2003, Cribbs Road, and the Village Road meet. The front of it was about half way across the road but there was room enough to pass. When I returned, there was a tow truck there. The ditch is quite deep and the bottom of the truck was resting on the berm of the road. It came down the road around 6 PM. Although I love driving on the roads here that don’t have a line down the center and where the tree branches meet overhead, it was a reminder that they can be dangerous.

The sun is burning through the morning fog making the colored trees on the opposite side of the valley less pastel. Leads me to speculate how to get the same effect in Photoshop…
