Sep 30: Mountain Hiking... Shenandoah

I took a walk in the mountains Sunday afternoon, and took a few pictures. The leaves are just beginning to change, still not a lot of color. Because we received a goodly amount amount of rain this past summer, the vegetation is lush and green, so if we get a nice frost in the next week or two, we should have a gorgeous fall color season this year. The sunset is taken from an overlook near Milepost 8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.



The red leaves above are poison ivy, and sumac.
The leaves are just beginning to turn. The forest is still 98% green.



Nice wildflowers.

View from an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway just south of Milepost 8, which is a couple of miles south of Humpback Rocks.
