On Monday, I took a trip to the Blueridge Parkway with my good friend Sandy Groover to check out the fall colors. According to the experts, drought and warmer weather will greatly reduce the color of the leaves this year. It was an overcast day, so most of our shots had to be composed without any sky. Peak color probably won’t be seen for another couple of weeks but in certain areas we found just enough hue to make a nice capture. I’ve found that it doesn’t take a lot a color to make a photograph pop.
Below are a couple taken prior to the time we had to get off the mountains because fog rolled in making visibility minimal:
