| SUMAC ARE PARTICULARLY COLORFUL THIS YEAR... |
 |
| ...COLOR IS JUST BEGINNING IN SOME PLACES... |
 |
| ...AND FULL-BLOWN IN OTHERS... |
 |
| ...WHILE ASPEN AND BIRCH ARE SPECTACULAR, WITH GOLDEN LEAVES AND STARK WHITE TRUNKS |
Wednesday, 9:00 AM. 62 degrees F at the ferry dock, 58 on the back porch. Wind variable with an occasional whisper of wind. The sky is overcast and it is sprinkling lightly, the humidity 86%. The barometer is rising, now at 29.66". Temperatures will be cooler with less chance of rain in the next week.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of fall color on Hwy 2 yesterday between Ashland and Duluth. Sumacs are particularly beautiful this year, and sugar and red maples are coloring nicely. Aspen and birch are spectacular in places, but red oak leaves are mostly turning bronze or even brown.
The nuances of weather create subtle or even dramatic variations in fall leaf color year to year, rendering some falls vibrant, some muted, or even occasionally drab. It's always interesting to watch.
