We usually think about fall color in leaves; in Eastern North America, we have an abundance of deciduous trees that illuminate our landscapes with colors varying from yellow to red. But on a 'fall color walk' today, I pointed out many more 'fall colors' -- those of flowers and fruits, especially, but also of foliage of annuals and perennials that we don't normally think about as 'fall color.' It was interesting -- fall color (in terms of leaves) is just now coming on.

Fall color, red berries, and seasonal change were the themes of a fall color walk last week. Family groups, surprisingly, made up most of the audience. I was totally delighted to see this photo , from photographer Jessica Nelms from upstate.today (Seneca Journal/Daily Messenger) on the front page of the print version of Friday's local paper last week.
