Whether you call it Autumn or Fall, this is a wonderful time of the year - particularly up here in the mountains. We don't have too many deciduous trees, mostly pines, but nonetheless there are a few that we enjoy seeing turn.
The leaves begin to turn from the top to the bottom, but with the Maples, they seem to go all at once and also very quickly. Of course, for the very best shows, you have to go north east in the country, but we're happy with our modest displays here. I'm told by the biologists, that the change comes through a combination of lower temperatures and hormones triggered by the diminishing daylight.
