The fall leaf color was expected to peak this weekend, and while it is really colorful here, either I missed the peak or it’s not so great this year. Nevertheless, last night I was at my favorite spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a spectacular sunset. In this shot the sun just peeked out under the clouds and caught the tops of the ridges. 

One thing I didn’t anticipate this weekend was how cold it would be in the mountains. It was -4C on Mt Pisgah this morning. The red berries looked wonderful set off by a frosting on the mountain shrubs.
