October 27 - October 31 back to fall gallery page
This week started out very cold. With the late autumn breezes kicking up, many leaves are departing their perch on the trees. This will be the last week for the 2008 Fall Color galleries. Thanks for joining us throughout the season!

Our first snow of the season fell throughout the night and this morning. Only a light dusting, it was enough to create some really nice scenes. There aren't always so many leaves on the trees by the time snow rolls in.
