Autumn leaves typically begin to change from high to low. You can see this on your own trees as most often the upper leaves change first. I see this on our mountain ranges as higher elevations typically change before lower. It is the opposite in the spring. Spring up and Fall down.
With that in mind my friend and I headed to (slightly) higher elevations, slightly west, and slightly north.
I love autumn so I am hosting the 2022 Festival of Leaves Challenge. I will post every Thursday and I invite everyone to join in at any time through the week for any or all weeks.
This challenge usually runs about 10-12 weeks, with the last week being a wrap up. You can link up here or on any of the individual weeks. Be sure to tag your post Festival of Leaves so it is easy to find in the reader.

An interesting fact. It’s true that the leaves on my willow tree begin at the end in the spring, I had not thought about whether it works in reverse now. I shall keep my eye on it!

I love that look of the long hill with the orange trees. One of the very few things I miss around here is begin able to stand on a hill and look down at the woods. Beautiful view!

The road we take into this part of West Virginia has a few overlooks. We stopped at one and that is where I got this.

This part of New England is “crowded.” It’s tight hills and river valleys enclosed by woods. You have to go to the far western part of the state or up to Vermont, Maine or northern New Hampshire to get real views. When we travel, I’m always looking for the long view, maybe because that’s the one thing I don’t have at home.

Make sense. Beautiful country though. I’d love to visit New England sometime.

What a pretty Autumn scene, Dawn! Too many evergreens in our mountains (as if), but we managed to see some color around the neighborhoods. https://secondwindleisure.com/2022/10/23/sunday-stills-through-a-glass-darkly/
