columbus day weekend foliage

The leaves are changing color.  Rapidly.  Here are some pictures from around town on Columbus Day weekend.  Most of them are from a hike up Mt. Battie.  

I think the foliage is especially pretty when contrasted with the blue of the lake or ocean, but it's hard to get a picture to show it all off from a distance.  Dan had a great idea to capture the red of the dock in this one.

You can see that some of them are vibrant in their reds and oranges and yellows, but many have yet to change.  Of course, all of those sneaky pine trees do throw the color off a bit.  Dan and I are planning on heading back up Mt. Battie today to see how much the leaves have changed in just a few days. It seems like the leaves are gone almost as quickly as they arrive.

Not quiet as pretty as bing.com's picture, but pretty nonetheless!
