Fall in Kentucky

We didn't get as far north as Maine (and are sure glad we didn't with the nor'easter and snow forecast for this weekend!), but we have experienced some glorious color anyway this fall.  I took these pictures of the wooded hills during our drive yesterday.  It was an overcast, gloomy day.  I wonder how bright these colors would have been if the sun were out?

There were a great many trees and shrubs that were orange and red.  I can identify the sumacs, but I don't know any of the others...

The part of Kentucky we are in is very hilly.  The trees don't appear to be very ancient --

I took the next couple of pictures this evening here at the Yarwood Motor Home Park.  The sun was setting behind the trees to the west end of the park --

These trees have not yet turned color.  They looked almost eerie with the red behind them!

We weren't terribly ambitious today.  We went to the post office to pay our Adams County 1/2 taxes and picked up some Priority Mail boxes to send Sister Sherry's birthday present and the Halloween packages to the grand-kids.  We got those filled and addressed and took them back to the post office.  I fixed a small pork loin with a peach jam glaze and cut up the last of the butternut squash for dinner.
