Today
was another perfect day for simply going anywhere to appreciate the best of
this season. The temperature rose to 60 degrees, and there was no wind or
clouds at all, giving the sky a nearly cerulean blue color.
The
trails of Moore State Park are now covered in leaf fall, and they crunch
beneath your feet when you walk, yellow maple leaves, brown oaks, mottled
specimens of hickory, ash and beech. The air is tinged with the smell of
tannins, and though the majority of leaves have yet to fall, there is thinning
of the canopy so that sunlight now enters throughout, creating a warm glow to
the woods.
The Old
Brigham Road is especially nice, again with leaf fall enough to cover the way.
The road here is long abandoned, lined with mountain laurel on both sides,
still deep green as if indifferent to the changing of the seasons.
