Fall Foliage

  By Nate Feldman Today, I took a walk with my family and dog at Crabby Creek Park in Berwyn, PA.  Crabby Creek Park has a small trail in the woods alongside Crabby Creek.  Although it is located in a mostly suburban area, when you are inside it, you feel like you are in the middle of a forest.  It is a bit of a hidden gem as you often don't see a lot of other people there.   The trail was covered with fallen leaves that have transformed their color, and there were several trees dotted throughout the area that have become completely yellow.  There were parts of the creek filled with leaves as well. The peak of the fall season is still a bit away as you can still see a lot of trees that are green, but the colors are definitely more visible.  

  By Nate Feldman  Fall officially began this weekend, and it started with a rainy and windy weekend, the result of a Tropical Storm that hit North Carolina and Virginia and moved north.  The area was completely drenched, and with this storm system came cooler, seasonal temperatures.  The wet weather continued into Monday.   More colors are appearing on trees throughout the area.  You can see the top of trees changing yellow, orange, and red.  The dogwood trees in my yard have almost become completely red and orange.   The upcoming week will have an autumn feeling, both temperature-wise and with the increasing colors throughout the landscape.  

  By Nate Feldman This weekend, the temperatures are mild, and it is beginning to feel like autumn outside.  With clear blue skies, the changing colors look great in the sunlight.  The first picture is of a dogwood tree in my front yard.  The second one is of a tree in my front yard, as well as two trees in my neighbor's yard, one of which (the one to far right) seems like it's almost lost all of its leaves by now.

  By Nate Feldman We are through one week of September, and now there are a lot more trees dotted with different colors on their leaves.  In my neighborhood, you can see a lot of green splashed with yellow, red, and orange.   The tree in this picture is in my neighbor's yard.  Although it has been unseasonably warm during the past week, this image shows that the autumn season is right around the corner.   Later in the day, I went on a walk with my dog Kipper around Bair Road, where I live, which is about 1 mile in length.  During the walk, I encountered many trees with both green and yellow leaves.
