Touch of Fall in the Mountains

This is our first fall in Western North Carolina and as I was walking around campus I noticed that some early signs were here. The dogwood above has just begun to turn in the last week.
There are also berries of every description ripening. Kind of nice to get an elongated fall season. The cold weather appeared much quicker most years in Vermont and fall often turned to winter overnight. The seasons are changing at a much more peaceful pace here. It brings back great memories of my time in Blacksburg.

Agreed. Blacksburg in the fall is the BEST season of all.
